Ryan Howard hit a two-run homer to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to their sixth straight victory, 5-2 over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.
With every start, Roy Oswalt is getting closer to getting back to the postseason.
Philadelphia's Roy Halladay struck out nine to defeat Florida for the fourth time this season, and the surging Phillies extended their lead in the NL East to three games by beating the Marlins 10-5 on Wednesday night.
Cole Hamels had a season-high 13 strikeouts in 6 2-3 innings, and the Philadelphia Phillies increased their lead in the NL East to two games by beating Florida 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Carlos Ruiz matched a career-high with four RBIs, Joe Blanton allowed one run in six innings and the Philadelphia Phillies continued their September sizzle beating the Florida Marlins 11-4 on Monday night.
Roy Oswalt considers himself a cerebral pitcher. He prides himself on taking detailed notes on hitters, studying hours of game film and putting together a comprehensive plan of attack before he ever steps on the mound.
Mike Pelfrey was dominant into the eighth inning to earn his career-high 14th victory, Ike Davis kept up his big September with four hits and three RBIs and the New York Mets stopped the Philadelphia Phillies' four-game winning streak 4-3 Saturday.
The New York Mets have had a pretty terrible few years, and there doesn't look to be an end in sight.
