Harper had misplayed a Drake Baldwin fly ball, allowing it to skip off the top of his massive silver glove and dribble around the right-field warning track. Sean Murphy scored as Harper helplessly chased the ball, giving Atlanta a 2-1 seventh-inning lead in this win-or-go-home wild-card playoff game for the Phillies . Two batters later, a sac fly from Matt Olson made it 3-1 Braves and ended Cristopher Sánchez's day.

"It's a learning situation for myself and everybody else as well," Harper said after the game. "You try to flush it as quick as possible."
