After Harper flied out and jogged to first base, Paplebon appeared to say “run that out” to the outfielder from the top step of the dugout as Harper walked off the field. Papelbon and Harper kept talking as Harper walked down the dugout steps. The conversation got more heated and escalated into yelling, and then Papelbon reached for Harper’s neck.

Papelbon, who got the last out of the eighth inning, stayed in with the score tied and gave up a two-home run to Andres Blanco. Papelbon drew loud boos from fans at Nationals Park and was finally pulled after 32 pitches. He was charged with five of the eight runs the Phillies scored in the ninth. -- WP
