World Series - Houston Astros v Philadelphia Phillies - Game Three
Bryce Harper's home run sent the Philadelphia Phillies fans into bedlam

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper's first-inning two-run blast had the city of Philadelphia rocking once again. The NLCS MVP opened the scoring in Game 3 of the World Series after smacking the first pitch he saw from Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers and converted it into a towering 402-foot home run to right field.

It was Harper's sixth home run of the postseason and his 12th and 13th runs batted in. Fans and spectators cannot help but admire his dinger along with the cheers of the fans at Citizens Bank Park. It has to be taken and replayed through multiple angles.

Harper's early bomb set the tone for the Phillies in the game. The Phils would pepper Houston starter Lance McCullers with four more home runs as the hurler gave up seven runs early on and would be pulled after just 4 1/3 innings.

Given how hot Harper's bat has been in the postseason, it is no wonder that he is making and breaking records left, right, and center.

Harper became just the seventh player since the turn of the millennia to hit a home run on back-to-back pitches at home in the playoffs.

With his first inning two-run home run, the reigning National League MVP also cemented himself in the history books after now being tied for the second-most go-ahead home runs in postseason history.
