June 6 (UPI) -- Bryce Harper's helmet stopped him from getting a double during the Washington Nationals' 11-2 win against the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday in Washington, D.C.
The five-time All-Star was at the plate in the bottom of the fourth inning during the incident at Nationals Park. Washington led Tampa Bay 6-1 at the time. Harper stepped into the box to face Rays lefty Ryan Yarbrough for the sequence.
