• WASHINGTON -- Only five games into his major league career, Bryce Harper is already an essential part of the Washington Nationals lineup. Kroy Biermann Jersey . The 19-year-old phenom moved into the No. 3 spot and responded with a tiebreaking RBI double in the sixth inning, lifting the Nationals to a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. "I want to win every single game," said Harper, who hit seventh in his first four games. "Im going to try to come up as clutch as I can in those kind of situations. I love those situations." The new spot in the heart of Washingtons order didnt seem to faze the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 amateur draft. "If Im hitting two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine it doesnt really matter," he said. "It doesnt change the way Im going to go up there and play." Harper seized the spotlight again, but Ross Detwiler (3-1) was equally impressive. The left-hander allowed one run and three hits over 6 1-3 innings in his longest outing this season.

The NL East-leading Nationals took two of three from Arizona and have won five of their six series this season. Henry Rodriguez pitched the ninth for his sixth save. Johnson moved Harper up four spots in the lineup a day after he went 3 for 4 with two doubles, and the rookie delivered. He is now 6 for 16 in his five games, with four doubles and three RBIs. "Hes a baseball player," teammate Jayson Werth said. "When youre a baseball player, you can be 15 or you can be 50. If you know how to play the game you can play." Harper also had an interesting night on the basepaths. Harper hit a weak grounder back to Kennedy in the first, but the pitchers throw was wide and he took second on what appeared to be an error. The Diamondbacks decided to appeal and Harper was called out for failing to touch first base. Harper said later he wasnt sure if he touched it or not. "I thought I might have
