Nationals slugger Bryce Harper had a pretty eventful day on Saturday.
It started with him landing a record contract extension, netting $28 million for one year, which seems like a pretty good salary.
And all that money seemed to do was motivate him.
Harper came to the plate in the ninth inning, with the game against the Phillies tied at 4-4, and he put an end to the matchup at hand by crushing the ball over the center-field wall.
