Things got a bit heated between the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Francisco Giants after benches cleared.
During this current stretch where they have officially lost two series in a row and are on a three-game losing streak, there are some frustrated people in the clubhouse as the bats have gone cold.Entering Wednesday, the slugger had gone 2-16 with one homer and four RBI in his last five games.as he struck out in his first two at-bats that caused him to show visible irritation about what he's been doing at the plate.
Well, that happened in the top of the fourth inning when the star slugger was almost hit twice by Giants pitcher Kyle Harrison. The lefty starter threw a 94 mph fastball up and in that caused Harper to take a long look at the young pitcher before he got back into the batter's box. Following a pitch low in the zone that was fouled off, Harrison went right back upstairs, this time appearing to hit Harper.It was eventually ruled that Harper had not been hit by the baseball, and that it had hit his bat instead, sending him back to the batter's box for a 2-2 count.
This immediately brought flashbacks for many around the sport where the star was involved in a huge melee with San Francisco on this very date back in 2017.Philadelphia is looking to get out of this series without being swept before they get an off day and start a six-game homestand beginning on Friday.Brad Wakai graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Journalism.
