The Latest Breaking News from Bryce Harper

PHILADELPHIA — If timing is everything, then Bryce Harper is all things.

Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm helped the Philadelphia Phillies hit a World Series record-tying five home runs in a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the World Series

If you thought the first two World Series games were exciting, just wait until tonight. For the first time in 13 years, Philadelphia is hosting a World Series game—and it’s on Halloween night, against the villains of baseball, one day after the Eagles defeated the Steelers at home to improve…

The Phillies went from horrifyingly bad to scary-good, and he’s the only hitter who’s been here through it all.

All along, the Phillies liked their chances in any postseason series, against any team, provided they were able to start Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola in the first two games. It’s what makes them dangerous. It’s probably the biggest reason they won the pennant.

Just like in Game 1, the Astros rushed to a 5-0 lead. Unlike ace Justin Verlander in the opener, Framber Valdez and Houston held on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies.

He is playing in the World Series against his hometown team, with his loved ones rooting against him.

HOUSTON — If you’re going to lose, do it right.

J.T. Realmuto homered in the 10th inning and the Phillies, saved by right fielder Nick Castellanos’ sliding catch in the ninth, rallied from five runs down to beat the Astros 6-5.
