PHILADELPHIA — A lot can happen in 91 days.
It’s enough time to, say, break your thumb, have surgery, and come back to hit major league pitching. But when you are Bryce Harper and you go 91 days without hitting a home run, well, time can feel like it’s standing still.
So, after continuing a years-long torment of high school classmate Erick Fedde by taking him deep in the third inning Saturday night, Harper stomped on home plate to punctuate the first of four Phillies homers in an 8-5 thumping of the Washington Nationals.
