CLEARWATER Lou Brock Jersey , Fla. (AP) — Bryce Harper showed off his mighty power a week before opening day.The slugger hit his first two Grapefruit League homers for the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, driving one completely out of the ballpark.“I feel good right now,” Harper said. “The swing feels good. The timing is coming along. I’ll take the next couple days and really try to solidify my timing, have good at-bats, keep seeing pitches, walking. When I’m walking, that’s when I’m at my best. See as many pitches as I can, jump on some early and have good at-bats.”Harper is hitting .231 (3 for 13) with two homers Ken Boyer Jersey , three RBIs, six walks and seven strikeouts this spring.

Realmuto also went deep to help Philadelphia pound the Toronto Blue Jays 13-6.“The lineup is looking good,” Harper said. “We’re all excited to get up north.”The Phillies will host the Atlanta Braves in their season opener on March 28.

I just tried to get a good pitch to hit and take the same as any other at-bat.”With the score tied in the eighth, White hit a pitch to left field off Hansel Robles that missed being a home run by just feet. The ball bounced off the top of the metal scoreboard and back into left field.

This extended his reached base safely streak to 29 games.Josh James made his major league pitching debut for the Astros and gave up three runs and five hits.

He came out, showed great arm strength and kind of stayed away from his strength of the secondary pitch until later in the outing.”Kole Calhoun provided the only offense for the Angels with a three-run home run in the second inning.
