The 30-year-old, who celebrated his birthday just a week ago, made his first championship series appearance of his illustrious career this postseason. If he can continue this hot form, it would be close to a certainty that the Phillies will close out the Padres sooner rather than later.

Harper rallied the crowd at Citizens Bank Park in the bottom of the fifth innings. The RBI double from the superstar was instrumental and pivotal as it gave the Phillies their first taste of the lead after trailing by four runs early on.
Nick Castellanos followed it up in the same inning with an RBI single. The Phillies wouldn't look back as they tacked on two more runs to seal the game 10-6.
