Harper (0-2) failed to record an out while taking the loss Tuesday versus Atlanta. He allowed two runs on tow hits and a walk.
The reliever gave up a two-run home run to Ozzie Albies in the seventh inning, and he then exited the game after yielding a double to Jorge Soler. Harper has produced 12 scoreless appearances since the start of August, but he's given up seven runs in two-thirds of an inning in the three games where he's allowed runs. His ERA ticked up to 2.61 with a 0.97 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB across 31 innings this season. The 32-year-old will likely continue to work mainly in a low-leverage role.
