Slumping Harper lets out frustration vs. Mets

In his third at-bat during Tuesday night’s 6-1 loss to the Mets at Nationals Park, Bryce Harper skied an 0-1 fastball from right-hander Zack Wheeler to deep left field. But the well-struck ball fell short, and left fielder Eric Campbell secured the catch on the warning track for the final out of the sixth inning as Harper rounded first base. In frustration, the left-handed slugger took off his helmet and smashed it to the ground.
