Roy Fail-swalt

Written by Mike Mariano | 31 July 2010

Tough debut for the Phillies big acquisition. Started off the game giving up a lead off triple to Nyjer Morgan.  Left after six innings with four earned runs and the eventual loss.  Roy Oswalt leads the league with the worst run support around and last night was no different.  The Phillies lost 8-1 and Roy has plenty of room for improvement to say the least.  A loss is a loss, they happen, no reason to worry.

Bright spots?  Nice to see a Jayson Werth home run and nice to see Domonic Brown knock to more hits.  Werth, DoBro, and Ibanez were the only Phillies with hits (each had two a piece).

So the streak ends at 8 and the Phillies drop a full game in the standings, but there are two most in Washington to go.
