Roy Oswalt is back and the Phils are now the team of Four Aces again.
Oswalt hasnt had a good fastball since he hurt his back in April. Tonight he had it. He was over 90 into the 8th inning and reached 94 at least once.
He struck out a season-high 9 in eight scoreless innings, the most he had struck out since he struck out nine June 10, 2010, when he was still an Astro.
Mayberry started again and he was great.
Him, Ruiz and Rollins each had 2 hits and Rollins also had two RBI's.
The Nationals' best chance to score was in the bottom of the fourth, but Mayberry threw Zimmerman out at the plate with a perfect one hopper.
Wilson Valdez tripled and Pence hit his fourth homer as a Phil.
This was the largest crowd ever at Nationals Park, with 44,685 fans. Cole Hamels said 44,000 were Phillies fans.
Lannen with the loss is now 1-12 against the Phils.
The Phils now have 16 shut-outs as a team.

Last ten 7-3
After Pence 15-4
division 7.5
Magic number 30
