Roy Oswalt allowed 3 runs in the 1st inning, but recovered nicely with 6 scoreless frames and 5 strikeouts to finish his day. Meanwhile, Ryan Howard keyed the offense going 3 for 3 with 3 RBIs. He got things started with an RBI double in the 1st inning to cut the lead to 3-1. Later in the 3rd inning, a single by Howard, a walk by Ben Francisco, and another single by Raul Ibanez cut it to 3-2. Finally in the 7th inning Howard laced a 2 run single up the middle for a 4-3 Phils lead. From there Micheal Stutes rolled through a 1-2-3 8th inning and Ryan Madson barely survived his 15th save of the season in the 9th, after another Geovanny Soto homer bid went just foul. The 4-3 win is the Phils 40th of the season thus far and keeps them 2 games up in the NL East.
