When they’re in high-leverage situations, you can wait to get a good pitch to hit,” Murphy said. He hit an 0-1 pitch out to right field for his 44th hit of the month and eighth homer of the season. But Harper was gone, hit by a pitch in the knee and replaced by Chris Heisey, who drew a two-out walk in his place. Daniel Murphy had three hits, including his eighth home run, and three RBI as the Nationals rallied past the Phillies on Monday. Then came Murphy, who drove in three of the Nationals’ four runs in their 31st win of the season.
