WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper hit a two-run home run in the third inning and a game-ending, threerun drive with two outs in the ninth, leading the Washington Nationals over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4 on Sunday.

Harper’s first home run, off Jerad Eickhoff, broke a 1-1 tie. The Nationals trailed 4-3 in the ninth when Joaquin Benoit (0-1) walked Chris Heisey with one out, and Adam Eaton singled.

Anthony Rendon flied out, and Harper worked the count full before driving a 97 mph fastball to center for his fourth home run this season. It was Harper’s fourth game-ending home run, his first since May 9, 2015, against Atlanta’s Cody Martin. Harper has hit 18 of his 125 big-league home runs against the Phillies.

Daniel Nava’s RBI single in the eighth chased Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez, and Tommy Joseph tied the score with a two-out single off Koda Glover.

Aaron Altherr doubled off Blake Treinen leading off the ninth and scored from third when, with the infield in, Freddy Galvis grounded to second baseman Daniel Murphy and catcher Matt Wieters dropped the throw on what was scored a fielder’s choice.
