Harper HR binge continues with walk-off

Bryce Haper did it again Saturday. His sixth homer in three days was a walk-off. (USATSI)

Saturday had the potential to be very bad for the Nationals. They jumped out to a big 6-1 lead over the Braves, but a bullpen meltdown sent the two teams to the bottom of the ninth tied 6-6. Blowing a lead that big never feels good.
