Bryce Harper makes his much-anticipated major league debut for the Nationals, but itâs the Dodgersâ Matt Kemp who steals the show, leading off the 10th inning with a walk-off homer off Tom Gorzelanny to give Los Angeles a 4 â 3 win. The 19-year-old Harper, the youngest player in the majors, hits a double in the 7th and then a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the 9th, but Washingtonâs bullpen blows a 3 â 1 lead, when Henry Rodriguez throws three wild pitches and gives up two runs to send the game into extra innings. Harper will go on to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
