Nats ‘flip’ over Harper’s DS-changing homer

After he unleashed a violent swing on a hanging curveball in the bottom of the eighth inning, Bryce Harper stood and watched as the ball he launched into the stratosphere sailed into the second deck in right field at Nationals Park. He turned toward his dugout, which was erupting with glee and with a scowl on his face, Harper discarded his bat in a glorious flip as the sellout crowd of 43,860 fans worked themselves into a frenzy.
