    Bryce Harper had already struck out twice in his $330 million debut when he was set to dig his gaudy green Phanatic spikes in at the plate in the seventh inning.

    With two runners on base and no outs, Harper never got the chance to swing the bat with "ill" -- as in, part of the Phillies -- stamped on the knob. He was intentionally walked to bring up Rhys Hoksins, and he quickly flexed the power that proved just how dangerous Philadelphia can be.

    "It's scary, right? Scary good," Hoskins said.

    Harper went 0 for 3 with an intentional walk and failed to deliver a big hit -- but no worries, the Phillies picked up the scoring slack. Hoskins hit a grand slam set up by Harper in a 10-4 win over the Atlanta Braveson Thursday.
