Bryce Harper saw his batting average dip as low as .248 during Washington's recent losing skid, but the rookie has rebounded in his last five games.

Harper is hitting is .409 over the stretch, with three home runs and eight RBIs.

"I haven't really changed anything," he said. "I'm just trying to stay within myself, and my swing's been the same all year. I think it's just a matter of trying to not do too much and be as patient as I can and wait for my pitch to drive."
