Roy Oswalt was much better in his second start back from the DL, allowing just 3 runs on 6 hits while striking out 5 in 7 innings. Meanwhile, poor defense doomed the Nationals as they committed 4 errors and allowed 8 unearned runs. Ryan Howard was in the middle of it all, slamming a 2 run homer in the 1st inning, lining an RBI single in the 3rd inning, beating out a fielder's choice to push across an unearned run in the 6th inning, and finally walking ahead of Hunter Pence's RBI single in the 8th inning. In all thanks to Howard and all those unearned runs the Phils rolled to a convincing 11-3 win.

Finally in the 6th, Chase Utley lined a 2 out 2 run single and Ryan Howard jacked a 2 out 2 run homer to put the Phils up for good 9-7. Later Ryan Madson would help them to hang on for a 9-8 win and a series sweep of the Dodgers.

Once again Tim Lincecum was too much for the Phils on this afternoon, allowing just 1 run on 7 hits while striking out 5 in 7 and 2/3rd's innings to snap the Phils 9 game winning streak. Roy Oswalt was okay in his return from the DL, allowing 3 runs on 12 hits while striking out 4 in 6 innings. Lincecum was just a little bit better. Chase Utley's RBI single in the 3rd inning accounted for the Phils only run and at the time a 1-0 lead, but it wasn't enough as the Phils fell 3-1.
