Phillies’ Bryce Harper makes highlight-reel plays in first-base debut
’ 6-5 loss to the Guardians. In the first inning, Steven Kwan hit a ground ball past first base that he fielded and flipped to starting pitcher Ranger Suárez, who was covering the bag. In the second inning, Myles Straw hit a sharp line drive his way. Harper fell to his knees and snagged it in midair.
And in the third, he made a play that caused infield coach Bobby Dickerson to shake his head in disbelief. Amed Rosario popped up and Harper tracked it. He jumped up, fell into the camera well, and secured the ball in his glove on his way down. He thrust his arm up to show that he had made the out.. He’s encouraged his pupil to be patient with himself. It isn’t an easy ask. Harper is where he is because of an insatiable desire to be great.
It was the type of performance that warranted a win, but the Phillies were unable to deliver. Suárez struggled in the first inning, allowing runs on an RBI double by Josh Bell and a David Fry base hit over 27 pitches. He settled in, allowing one hit over his next two innings, but gave up runs in the fourth and fifth to give Cleveland a 4-1 lead. Reliever Yunior Marte entered in the sixth and allowed two RBI singles to give Cleveland a 6-2 lead.
The Phillies’ offense looked listless at first. They loaded the bases in the second with two outs, only to see the inning end in a Jake Cave pop out. Trea Turner tripled with one out in the third inning and scored on a Nick Castellanos’ groundout to put the Phillies on the board. They loaded the bases again in the third, but failed to drive any runners home. They went down in order in the fifth.
They walked in a run in the sixth, but, once again, didn’t capitalize after loading the bases with one out. But they broke out in the seventh. Harper drew a walk, and J.T. Realmuto hit a home run to make it a 6-4 game. Bryson Stott homered in the next at-bat to make it a 6-5 game. But Harper, Realmuto and Stott went down 1-2-3 in the ninth.
