Look out, National League pitchers. Bryce Harper's found his power stroke again.
Harper took Miami Marlins right-hander Kyle Barraclough 410 feet into the Washington night for a go-ahead, two-run shot in the seventh inning, which ultimately lifted the Nationals to a 5-3 victory.
The blast, Harper's 11th of the year, ends a prolonged power drought for the 23-year-old. His last homer came on May 4 against the Royals; since then, Harper's gone just 3-for-12 at the plate with zero long balls.
The drought's not all his fault, though, given his 18 walks - six of them intentional - in the past week coming into Friday's game, which included a record-tying six in one game last Sunday.
