"To be honest, very nervous," Papelbon said when asked he how felt entering his Washington debut. "I can't really explain it. You come here to a team and expect to win and expect to do your job. That's all that's expected of me. I'm glad it's out of the way.

Backed by Ryan Zimmerman's second-inning homer off Dan Haren, Scherzer (11-8) struck out six and lowered his ERA to 2.22.

Former closer Drew Storen pitched a perfect eighth, striking out two in his new setup role.

"I was in the shower with Storen and said to him, 'Can you show me that slider grip?'" Papelbon said. "He was really, really good."

DID STOREN JERK PAPELBON OFF IN THE SHOWER?

Technically, MLB teams can continue to trade after September 1st, but the players just aren't eligible for the playoffs

I hope the Phillies do a cool tribute for Jimmy tonight. The poop they do is usually so boring.
