First baseman Bryce Harper stole the show on offense with his two home runs -- one in the third inning to right center field (393 feet) and another in the eighth inning to center field (408 feet). However, second baseman Bryson Stott had an outstanding game as well, going two-for-four with a two-run home run in the seventh inning.
