Phillies Spoil Papelbon’s Save, but Nats Win in Extras

The Philadelphia Phillies almost fulfilled their role of spoiler Monday night against the visiting Washington Nationals. Almost. Afrer clawing back from deficits of 1-0, 2-1 and 6-2 and trailing 7-6 in the 1oth inning, the Phillies got a leadoff home run from Freddy Galvis off former Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon but could not rally enough to walk off with a win during an eventual 8-7 loss. Aaron Nola was roughed up over his five innings of work, allowing six earned runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out eight. Luis Garcis took the loss in relief. Papelbon ended up with the win.
