The Washington Nationals’ disappointing season has officially reached a new low.
A day after the team was eliminated from playoff contention, tempers boiled over in the dugout Sunday in a clash of the face of the franchise and a trade-deadline acquisition. Outfielder (and NL MVP favorite) Bryce Harper and closer Jonathan Papelbon got into it during the bottom of the eighth inning against the Philadelphia Phillies.
