Even after missing nearly two months, Phillies slugger Bryce Harper showed no signs of rust in his return from injury Tuesday night.
The Philadelphia star, who suffered a broken thumb on June 25 when he was hit by a pitch from Padres pitcher Blake Snell, hit two home runs in the first game of a minor league rehabilitation stint. Harper went 2-for-3, drove in four runs, scored three times and walked twice to lead the Triple A Lehigh Valley IronPigs past the Gwinnett Stripers, 10–5, in Allentown, Pa.
Harper is likely to remain with the IronPigs through Saturday and could rejoin the Phillies as early as Monday in Arizona.
