Bryce Harper and the Nationals kept their slim playoff chances alive. Harper belted his 40th homer of the season, Jayson Werth went deep twice and Gio Gonzalez tied his career-high with 12 strikeouts to lead Washington to a 12-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. Werth and Harper each had four home runs in the three-game sweep of Philadelphia to help the Nationals pull within 7 1/2 games of the Mets in the NL East with their fourth straight victory.
