Sure, the Phillies may be in last place. And the Washington Nationals may be in first. But Bryce Harper looked more like a doofus rather than one of the best young players in baseball when he ran into the right field wall and tumblesaulted onto his back in the fourth inning on Tuesday night as a baseball lay motionless a dozen feet away in the outfield grass.
Jimmy Rollins touched 'em all after ripping a ball off Stephen Strasburg. Harper lay motionless for a moment after hopping awkwardly into the wall. He eventually got up to retrieve the ball but it was too late. J-Roll didn't even have to slide at home plate, good for his fourth career inside-the-park home run.
The Phillies tuned up the Nationals' ace for 6 runs in 4.0 innings.

Cliff Lee knocked in a RBI and subsequently stole a base earlier in the game as well.
Oh yeah, and Kevin Frandsen (who?) hit a two-run home run, his first long ball since... 2007.
Enjoy the little things, Phillies fans. They're all we have left this season.
