Phillies slugger Bryce Harper got his revenge on Atlanta Braves’ Orlando Arcia.
Earlier this week, Harper suffered a base-running blunder in the 9th inning that sealed the win for the Braves in game 2.
After the game, Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia reportedly mocked Harper while leaving the field.

Harper’s consequent blunder was the talk of Atlanta’s locker room after the game. Kevin Pillar’s young son, sporting a custom “Money Mike” headband, waddled over to his favorite center fielder for a fist bump. Third-string catcher Chadwick Tromp strutted by Harris’ locker offering a congratulatory “Mike is him!” All while Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia cackled emphatically about Harper’s misfortune, bellowing “ha-ha, atta-boy, Harper!” repeatedly as reporters circled the room.
On Wednesday, Harper hit two massive home runs in the Phillies game three win vs the Braves and stared down Arcia both times as he ran the bases.

Update: Harper was asked about staring down Arcia and this is what he had to say.
“It’s a game. It’s fun. It’s a lotta fun. That’s what it’s all about.”
