With one week left until Opening Day, Bryce Harper is getting his home run swing back.

Philadelphia's newest superstar hit his first home run in a Phillies uniform during the first inning of Thursday's spring training game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Harper sent a first pitch hanging breaking ball over the right field fence off Toronto right hander Sam Gaviglio.

Then in the 6th inning, Harper drove a 2-1 offering from Blue Jays lefty Thomas Pannone towering over the seats in right field for his second home run of the day.

Prior to Thursday's game, Harper had gone 1-for-10 with five walks so far this spring.

In seven major league seasons, Harper is averaging over 30 home runs a year. His highest homer total came during his MVP season in 2015 when he hit 42. Last season smashed 34 home runs.
