Bryce Harper responds to vulgar chants from National fans with a home run and a gesture during his trot

Fox News host Will Cain has more details into the Justice Department's civil rights probe into the MLB on ‘The Will Cain Show.’

There is no love lost between Bryce Harper and fans of the Washington Nationals.

OK. There's a little love lost.

Harper and the Phillies stunned Washington Thursday night after trailing 5-0, with Harper hitting the go-ahead two-run home run in the ninth inning to cap a seven-run rally. The Phillies have now won seven out of 10, and moved to within four games of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.

Remember, this is the same team that fired their manager two months ago after an abysmal start. Not a bad little run, I'd say.

Anyway, back to Harper ...

The former Nationals star has been on an absolute tear lately, hitting .429 over the past week with three home runs. His 18th homer of the season Thursday night came after hearing vulgar, "F--k Bryce Harper" chants from the Washington crowd all night.

Naturally, Harper made sure to salute them as he rounded the bases ... twice:

"Ring finger, though, just want to make sure that's out there," Harper said after the game, adding that he's used to hostile environments even though this one still surprises him.

"It's all part of it. It's weird coming from a fanbase, obviously, that I sweated for seven years, but there's a lot of people around here that enjoy me. It's all fun."
