Jonathan Papelbon’s struggles continued against the Phillies. This time thanks to the bat of Phillies third baseman, Maikel Franco.
Franco would launch a solo home run to left field against his former teammate to break the 3-3 tie. As Franco began to circle the bases, Phillies left fielder, Cody Asche, also a former teammate of Papelbon, shouted a few choice words towards the Nationals’ closer.

It seems as if there is no love lost between Papelbon and his former club. Expect this rivalry to continue for quite some time.
