Bryce Harper doesn't merely have Julio Teheran's number. He has the dude's soul, man.

Heading into Wednesday's game at SunTrust Park, the 24-year-old Washington Nationals star was 13-for-31 (.419) with five homers off Teheran in his career, so, naturally, in the first inning, Harper took the young right-hander deep to left, about 396 feet, for his fifth homer of the 2017 campaign.

Surely, then, in his next at-bat, Harper would show Teheran some mercy, right? Uh, nope. An inning later, with two outs and the bases loaded, Harper deposited Teheran's 1-0 changeup over the wall in center, notching his third career grand slam to improve to 15-for-33 (.454) against the Atlanta Braves ace.
