When he's at his best, Bryce Harper owns the National League. He won the league's MVP trophy last season and is making a reasonable bid to defend it.

When the Los Angeles Angels came to Citizens Bank Park this weekend for a three-game series, Harper was sidelined with a lingering elbow injury. But he wasn't going to let Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani go unopposed in his ballpark. He was back in the team's lineup before game one on Friday night.

Harper dominated the Angels this weekend. He hit two home runs with four runs batted in on Friday. The Philadelphia Phillies crushed the Angels that night 10-0 and then asserted their dominance on Saturday with a 7-2 win.

This afternoon, the Angels carried a 6-2 lead into the eighth inning. With two outs, Harper came up to the plate with the bases loaded and crushed a grand slam. The game was tied. The Phillies went on to win the game 9-7. Harper had crushed the Angels' hopes of snapping a nine-game losing streak.

This user said there are three things to be certain of in life: death, taxes, and the Angels' bullpen blowing a lead. Bullpen aside, Harper deserves credit here.

Death, Taxes, and the Angels bullpen letting them down. What a moment for Bryce Harper.

For Phillies fans right now, Harper is the only thing in the world that matters.

@atlantaWsonly @MLB @Phillies When you have Bryce Harper and he hits a game tying grand slam maybe nobody cares about matt Olson and the cocky venezuelen tool

Angels manager Joe Maddon usually stays away from pitching to Harper. He's probably regretting his decision to pitch to him in the eighth inning tonight.

Will Joe Maddon ever recover from pitching to Bryce Harper this season? https://t.co/bvCdf6mIGY

Harper is getting paid a lot of money, but he's proven he's worth "every penny," as this user puts it.

I root for the Phillies in a very indifferent-to-baseball-but-I-like-Philly kind of way and Bryce Harper has been worth every penny so far. twitter.com/brodesmedia/st…

Harper doesn't just hit. He hits dingers.

As long as he can stay healthy, Harper has the potential to turn his team's season around.
