He did it again.

Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper came off the bench with his club down 4-3 to the Minnesota Twins in the bottom of the ninth inning.

In Harper fashion, he did exactly what manager Dusty Baker had hoped, and took Kevin Jepsen yard with a game-tying, solo shot to center, his ninth of the year.

With the home run, Harper hit the first game-tying shot in the ninth inning or later since he did it against the Colorado Rockies in 2012. This season, Harper has as many home runs as he does strikeouts.
