Tying A-Rod

Bryce Harper homered for the Nationals in the fourth inning of their game versus the Marlins. That gives Harper 41 for his career, tying him with Alex Rodriguez for the third most home runs through age 20. Mel Ott leads with 61, and Tony Conigliaro is second with 56, so Harper would have to have quite a month of September to reach either of those formerly young stars.

Of course, if Harper did go on a 20 home run tear, the Nationals would have a better chance of making the playoffs.
