Ortiz punishes Yankees; Cubs walk Harper to beat Nationals

Bryce Harper's boxscore that day:

7 plate appearances, 0 official at-bats

6 walks, 1 hit-by-pitch, reached base all 7 times

Saw 27 pitches - did not swing the bat a single time (bat never left his shoulders)

Harper's 0-for-0 line with six walks and a hit-by-pitch is the first of its kind since at least 1913.

While Harper, 23, is the fourth player to walk six times in a game, he's the first to do so before age 30.

Four players in MLB history have reached safely in all seven plate appearances in a game, but Harper is the first to do so without a hit.

Did not record an official at-bat in his final 12 plate appearances of the series

In one day, Harper's on-base percentage jumped from .400 to .432. He began the Nationals' four-game series with a .372 OBP, meaning his percentage elevated an incredible 60 points in just four days with only one hit.

...and yesterday Harper was ejected for arguing a call he wasn't even a part of. The pitch-trackers generally agreed the controversial called strike against another National player during a tie game was indeed a strike, but the player at the plate didn't agree and some of the Nationals (including Harper) rose and voiced their displeasure. Apparently Harper came out of the dugout when it wasn't his turn on-deck, though, and that's all the umpire needed for the ejection. He's still a bit too hot-headed.
