Phillies Bryce Harper Hits Two 440-Foot Homers in 12-7 Win

News summary

The Philadelphia Phillies showcased an explosive offensive performance in their 12-7 victory over the Seattle Mariners, highlighted by Bryce Harper's remarkable display of power. Harper hit two home runs, each traveling over 440 feet, making him the first Phillies player in the Statcast era to achieve this feat twice in a single game, and one of only a handful in MLB history to do so. His first homer traveled 440 feet with an exit velocity of 112.9 mph, while the second went 448 feet at 112.3 mph, helping to secure the Phillies' commanding lead. Beyond Harper, the Phillies produced a season-high 21 hits, including contributions from Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber, while Ranger Suarez pitched effectively, striking out 10 in 6 2/3 innings. The team's offense has been crucial in offsetting concerns about their starting pitching, especially following Zack Wheeler's surgery for a blood clot. With Harper heating up and the offense firing on all cylinders, the Phillies maintain a strong position in their division race.
