PHILADELPHIA - Dee Gordon went 3-for-4 with a home run and a double to win the NL batting title over Washington's Bryce Harper as the Miami Marlins fell to the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 on Sunday at Citizens Bank Park.
Gordon became the first NL player to lead the league in batting average (.333) and stolen bases (58) in the same season since Jackie Robinson did so in 1949, according to the Marlins citing the Elias Sports Bureau.
Harper went 1-for-4 Sunday and finished at .330.
