Bryce Harper and Jonathan Papelbon had a physical altercation during Sunday's game.

After Harper flied out in the eighth inning Sunday, he and Papelbon exchanged words.

Papelbon then reached for Harper's throat with his left hand and shoved the outfielder back toward the bench with both arms. Teammates then pulled the pair apart.

Papelbon said after the game he and Harper had talked things out.

"It's squashed and it's good, we've moved on," Papelbon said.

"I grew up with brothers, he grew up with brothers, I view him as a brother," Papelbon said. "And sometimes in this game, there's a lot of testosterone and things spill over."

"He apologized, so whatever," Harper said. "I really don't care. ... It's like brothers fighting. That's what happens."
