Oswalt goes 7 strong for 4th Win of the Season!

Roy Oswalt earned his 4^th win of the season yesterday afternoon. Oswalts first win since April 24^th. Oswalt was able to regain his form after a trip to the DL, some family issues and, a few shaky starts to go seven strong innings striking out five to get the Phillies past the Cubs in a 4 to 3 victory.  Ryan Howard provided plenty of offence with 3 rbi’s on the afternoon. Howards 7th inning single off Cubs left-hander Sean Marshall scored Chase Utley and, Shane Victornio to give the Phillies the lead. Chase Utley also helped spark the offence as he continues to swing a hot bat going 2 for 3 with a walk and 2 runs scored. Phillies right hander Michael Stutes pitched a scoreless 8^th leading the way for Ryan Madson to come in and, close the door in the 9^th inning earning his 15^th save of the season as he continues to be lights out for the Phillies going 15/16 in save opportunities so for this season. The Phillies have the day off today Monday June 13^th and will next face the Florida Marlins at home on Tuesday to start a three game series. Hamels (8-2, 2.58 ERA) takes the mound for the Phillies vs. Florida’s Chris Volstad (2-6, 5.51 ERA) tomorrow night.
