Phillies first baseman Harper reached a career milestone of 1,000 RBIs and became a legend in history

At Citizens Bank Park on Friday night, Bryce Harper made history in atypical fashion. The Phillies came up with three clever batting to reach his 1,000th and 1,001st career points in an 8-4 comeback win against the Pirates, becoming the 14th player in MLB history to complete 1,000 RBIs, 1,000 points and 1,000 runs before the age of 33. Eleven of the first 13 have been inducted into the Hall of Fame: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Mel Ott, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Eddie Mathews, Ron Santo, Frank Brown. Frank Thomas, Jeff Bagwell, Jim Thome, and the yet-to-be-elected Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols.

Harper hit a 65.7mph midfield hit a 65.7-mph midfield hit a 2-good, 2-bad slider from the Pirates on a left-handed shot from five innings to send the opening point home. At full base in the next of seven innings, he closed with a 3-bad, 2-good slider from Ryan Borucki, and third base judge John Libka ruled that he didn't swing the bat. Pirate coach Don Kelly was ejected for protesting the penalty. The Phillies then won the ball with Kyle Schwarber, Nick Castellanos' touchball and J.T. Lilmurto. Realmuto) scored three straight points to take the lead, and Alec Bohm's high-flying sacrifice extended the score to 5-3. In eight innings, Harper added another insurance point with a 72.3 mph crossing hit, setting a record for the fifth soft-hitting of the season.

"It's so cool to be on a par with these legends," Harper said after the race, "and I was honored when Toph [coach Rob Thomson] pronounced those names. But the journey is far from over, and we have to move on. In this game, he hit 4 hits, 3 hits, 2 hits and 1 hit, and 10 hits and 5 hits (including 1 second base hit) and 3 hits in the last three games. Thomson commented: "This list is a testament to his greatness as a hitter. "

Harper is recovering from a slump in late April and early May, where he just surrendered 0.189 batting average, two hits and eight RBIs in 19 games from April 21 to May 13. "It's obviously not there yet," he admits, "and the swing options still need to be improved, but I'll keep adjusting." Every day I try to feel in the cage and I have to stay in shape in the game. "

Regarding the controversial delivery under the seven-innings, Harper said: "This kind of critical decision is unpredictable. I tried my best to close the bat, but the result was up to the referee. Luck blessed us this time. Borutsky was unable to stabilize the situation after that, and consecutive saves and touches allowed the Phillies to turn the score around. "We've shown resilience," Harper added, "and it's been a great fightback. "

With this victory, the Phillies continue to hold second place in the National League East. Harper added another footnote to his legendary career with the art of winning by chance, as he said, "Whatever way I can, if I can contribute to the team's winnings, I'll take it." Soft-hit hits? No problem, just keep going. "
