VIDEO: Jean Segura Ties Game With Monster Home Run
By Sean Facey
At least one offseason acquisition is pulling his weight for Philadelphia. Phillies shortstop Jean Segura clobbered a solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the first inning (for the second straight day!) off of Milwaukee Brewers startee Zach Davies to erase an early 1-0 deficit.

The blast, which traveled 411 feet, is Segura's fourth of the year for the Phillies.
He's performed as advertised over his first 32 games in Philadelphia, batting well over .300 with an OPS hovering around .850.
Segura seems to be picking up the slack, as teammate Bryce Harper continues to struggle.

Bryce Harper leads the league in strikeouts (57). Is this something we should be concerned about? pic.twitter.com/56DziDu5VR
Who knows? Maybe he could give Harper a few pointers on how to put the bat on the ball.
