Goeddel catches Harper napping for rare double play
MLB.com
Bryce Harper never saw it coming.
With the Washington Nationals down 2-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies in the seventh inning and Harper standing on first, Daniel Murphy hit a lazy fly ball to left field, an easy play for Tyler Goeddel.
But as soon as he caught it, he fired a bullet to Ryan Howard at first base, who then juked out Harper - who came in standing - for the clutch double play late in the game.
The play didn't end up costing the Nats, however, as they scored three runs in the eighth to win 4-3.
