Arizona Diamondbacks lose to Washington Nationals on walk-off homer in 9th
WASHINGTON -- Bryce Harper made a tumbling barehanded catch in center field and then led off the ninth inning with a double to set the stage for Ian Desmond's two-out game-ending home run that gave the Washington Nationals a 5-4 victory over the visiting Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.
In the sixth inning, Harper fell down in the right-center gap while attempting to catch a fly ball off Jason Kubel's bat. As he landed in the grass, Harper secured the ball in his ungloved right hand.

Harper, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 draft, also had his first multi-hit game with two doubles and a single. He scored his first career run in the fourth inning, knocking the ball out of the catcher's glove.
