Saturday Nats Live: Bryce, Zim great late in WSaturday Nats Live: Bryce, Zim great late in W
In need of a spark in the NLDS, the Nats watched Bryce Harper rise to the occasion like he has so many times in the past. In the eighth inning of Saturday night’s Game 2, Harper launched a mammoth game-tying and series-changing two-run homer off Carl Edwards Jr., which sent the 43,860 fans at Nationals Park into a frenzy. Ryan Zimmerman followed with a go-ahead three-run homer to punctuate a five-run eighth inning that led the Nationals to a 6-3 victory over the Cubs.
