Phillies' Bryce Harper wins NLCS MVP
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Bryce Harper, who hit the go-ahead home run in the bottom of the eighth inning in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series, won Most Valuable Player honors after he helped the Phillies punch their ticket to the World Series on Sunday night at Citizens Bank Park.
It's the first time the Phillies are in the World Series since 2009.
Harper has been nothing short of amazing during the playoffs, especially in the NLCS.
Harper hit two home runs, three doubles and had five RBIs as the Phillies won the series 4-1.
Phillies owner John Middleton said that he might've underpaid Harper.
"I'm thinking that maybe I underpaid him," Middleton said. "I told him that tonight. I told that to Scott Boras a while ago."
Earlier in the playoffs, Harper said "We ain't losing," and so far that's looking pretty good.
The Phillies will play the winner of the Houston Astros and New York Yankees in the World Series, which starts on Friday.
