Papelbon collected his first save of the year Wednesday by pitching 1.1 perfect innings with a strikeout against the Red Sox.
Ken Giles made a mess of the eighth inning, but the veteran closer was there to pick him up. A sharp first outing of the year for Papelbon, who should again be one of the game's better closers, but is at risk of being traded away from a bad Phillies team whose fans he's alienated.
