Papelbon allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one, but came away with his 34th save in the Phillies' win over Washington on Friday night. Papelbon (4 saves, 1.67 ERA) scuffled and let one run in before closing out the Nationals after this mates provided him with a two-run lead after trailing 5-0 and 7-2 earlier in the game. Despite this less-than-stellar outing, Papelbon has been a reliable arm in the end game and one of the few bright spots for the Phillies this season.
