Phillies star Bryce Harper registered a new milestone on Wednesday after smashing his 300th career home run in the 10–8 loss in the finale of a three-game series against the Angels.
Harper blasted a pitch from Angels’ Matt Moore deep to right-center field during the eighth inning. The two-run home gave the Phillies an 8–7 advantage.
Harper became the fourth-youngest active player in baseball to reach 300 home runs and the 12th active player to secure the milestone, joining several greats. Among those on the list are J.D. Martinez, Manny Machado, Freddie Freeman, Nolan Arenado, Paul Goldschmidt, Evan Longoria, Joey Votto, Mike Trout, Giancarlo Stanton, Miguel Cabrera and Nelson Cruz.
