Bryce Harper managed to avoid getting ejected Sunday despite so openly shading home plate umpire Steven Jaschinski over a strike three call. Perhaps even Jaschinski knew he had messed up. Harper dramatically waved off Jaschinski after he was rung up in the bottom of the eighth inning of the Phillies’ 8-2 home loss to the Angels after a called strike three that was very clearly high above the strike zone.

The Red Sox were riding a 10-game winning streak at the All-Star break, but have lost four of five games since.
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper somehow did not get ejected despite some pretty clear disrespect he directed toward home plate umpire
The Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies are both thick in the playoff race. Boston occupies the third wild-card spot in the American League thanks to a 10-game winning streak earlier this month.
Automatic runner Brandon Marsh scored on a call of catcher's interference with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Phillies a 3-2 walk-off win over the Red Sox.
Another tough blow for the Philadelphia Phillies, as they’ll lose a player for some time due to a rib injury, leaving Bryce Harper without a key infield teammate, though the team has already called up a Triple-A replacement.
