Game 119 Nats @ Phillies

Roy Oswalt had his second start since coming back tonight.
Only 6 hits this time and three earned runs but he had a good fastball and was in control.

Ryan Howard had four more rbi's and continues to lead the league.
Pence has struggled a little the last few games. 0-2 but he did have two walks and a run scored.

The Nats had 3 errors tonight and the Phils had 7 un-earned runs. Last time with 7 unearned runs was May 5 1996 in Atlanta. the Reds have also done it this season.

In the eighth They got second and third with one out and 3-0 on Howard so they intentionally walked him to get to Pence and Pence singled in a run. I wonder how many times Pence has singled and gotten rbi's after Howard was walked.
Three extra runs in the eighth for good measure.

Stutes comes in for the last two innings and gave up a walk and a hit but nothing else, so a good bounceback game for him too.

Win 11-3
streak 1 win
After Pence 12-2
Last ten 8-2
Last twenty 15-5
Last Thirty 22-8
Division lead 8.5
Magic Number 32

Record 78-41
