Harper goes 3-for-4 with 5 RBI in instructional league

Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 today for the Nationals' instructional league team, hitting a homer and driving in five runs against the Braves.

Harper has been inconsistent in his first taste of professional baseball, and his early inconsistencies, while to be expected, are probably an indicator the 17-year-old isn't ready for the Arizona Fall League yet.

But his riveting talent has been on display several times this fall, and his showing on Thursday was another instance of that.
