Bryce Harper (+421)
Bryce Harper tied Game 2 with his 18th career postseason home run, which put him alongside five other sluggers for the 10th-most in MLB history. It was also his 13th playoff homer with Philadelphia, the second-most in franchise history.
Kyle Schwarber and Harper have now homered in the same postseason game on five occasions, tying them with Alex Bregman and Jose Altuve for the third-most among a pair of teammates.
If Harper can homer off Dylan Lee, there isn't another Braves arm guaranteed to keep him in the yard. Lee had faced 102 left-handed batters and allowed zero home runs before Schwarber and Harper went back-to-back off of him.
