The Nats' star right fielder was running out a ground ball to first base when his left leg hit a slippery base, causing his left knee to hyperextend. Harper immediately went down and grabbed his knee in agony. He eventually had to be helped off the field. The team has been plauge with injuires this season, from the bullpen to outfielders.
