Bryce Harper is doing whatever he wants Tuesday, and no one in the Philadelphia Phillies organization can stop him.

The Washington Nationals outfielder began his night by targeting the Phillie Phanatic, stealing the keys to the famous mascot's four-wheeler:

Once the game started, Harper shifted his target to Phillies starter David Buchanan, as he bombed an 0-2 first-inning offering over the center-field fence for his 38th home run of the season to give the Nationals an early 1-0 lead.

His onslaught continued with an RBI single in the third, and, after being walked in the fifth, the 22-year-old went opposite field for his second home run of the game - a two-run shot that moved the score to Harper: 4, Phillies: 0.

It was his fifth multi-homer game of 2015, with home run No. 39 giving him sole possession of the NL lead over Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies.
