Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper let his frustrations get the best of him on Saturday after striking out against Miami Marlins hurler Tom Koehler.

After Harper struck out for the second time in the game, whiffing on a breaking ball in the dirt in the bottom of the sixth inning, the youngster took out his anger on his bat in the team's dugout.

But just as Paul Goldschmidt of the Arizona Diamondbacks won't let Harper grab the National League MVP award without a fight, the three-time All-Star wouldn't allow the 22-year-old to be the only player to throw a tantrum Saturday night.

Goldschmidt, who trails Harper for the NL lead in wins above replacement, got his rage on with comparable fervor after striking out against Fernando Rodriguez of the Oakland Athletics.
