Bryce Harper is back and the Nats look back on track

The Washington Nationals finished their first half of the season with a 42-40 record. After being picked by Sports Illustrated to win the World Series, the ballclub entered 2013 with high expectations after a heartbreaking first round exit last year. Injuries and inconsistency contributed to the struggle. After a big win over the Mets on Sunday in which the Nats clubbed four homers they returned home last night to face the Brewers. The game would mark Bryce Harper's return from injury. When Harper stepped up to the plate in his first at bat he homered to left field and Nats Park was going wild! Jayson Werth also contributed with 5 RBIs. The Nationals are heading in the right direction and hope to grab some more curly W's before the All Star break and catch up with division leading Atlanta Braves.
