Phillies’ Harper expects mixed reception for first game back at Nationals Park Globe_Sports
Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Bryce Harper reacts in front of Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies after hitting a double during the third inning at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pa., on March 31, 2019.From the moment Bryce Harper signed his US$330-million, 13-year deal with the Philadelphia Phillies, this game is the one everyone has been thinking about.
The Nationals, meanwhile, are 1-2 with some serious bullpen issues after avoiding a sweep against the New York Mets thanks to a ninth-inning homer on Sunday by Trea Turner. He did, after all, win 2012 National League Rookie of the Year and 2015 National League MVP honours with Washington. He helped the club make four playoff appearances. He thrilled spectators by winning last year’s All-Star Home Run Derby in his home ballpark.“I love all human psychology,” Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. “I love to see how people respond to moments like that – the players, the fans and the cities.”Thousands of Phillies fans are expected to make the trek down Interstate 95.
“Treat it just like any other situation: Go after him,” Grace said. “Not going to treat it like anything else. I’m sure he’ll do the same.”Scherzer will make his second start in Washington’s first four games of 2019.
