Washington Nationals Welcome Roy Oswalt To The NL East, Beat Philadelphia Phillies 8-1.

Tonight's Trade Deadline Top 5: 

5. MOAR MORGAN!!! Welcome to the NL East, Roy Oswalt!! Nats' leadoff man Tony Plush is back at it and he lines the first pitch Oswalt throws as a Philadelphia starter to right-center for a leadoff triple to start tonight's game. Adam Kennedy grounds out to second and the Nats are up 1-0 real early. Morgan's 6th triple of 2010 is his first since April 22nd...

4. 9-3 Putout! Nats' starter Craig Stammen gives up one of the many hits Nationals' starters like to give up to opposing pitche-- or at least it would've been a single if Roger Bernadina hadn't been perfectly positioned in shallow right to field Oswalt's line drive and throw the slow-footed starter out at first, 9-3 putout for everyone's favorite right fielder. (No offense, Michael Morse.)

3. No One Home, Ruiz!!!: Craig Stammen returns the favor and singles off of Oswalt in the Nats' third. Nyjer Morgan's hit by Oswalt and there are two on for the Nats' new go-to-second baseman, Adam Kennedy. Kennedy tries to get a bunt down. The Phillies catcher John Ruiz jumps up and fields it with Greg Dobbs charging from third, so there's no one home when Philly's backstop throws to and through third allowing two runs to score as the Nats take a 3-0 lead over Philadelphia. 

2. 6.0 And Done: Nats' right-hander Craig Stammen throws 6.0 scoreless innings before he throws a hanging 2-2 fastball to Jayson Werth who hits a leadoff HR to left to finally get the Phillies on the board in the seventh. 5-1 Nats. Domonic Brown follows with a single, and Greg Dobbs flies to deep right for the first out. Too deep for Nats' Skipper Jim Riggleman's liking. Stammen's done: 6.1 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K's, 89 pitches, 55 strikes, 8 groundouts, 5 flyouts. 

1. Hammer And Bernie!!: Roy Oswalt hits Nyjer Morgan to start the fifth, but picks him off first before surrendering a one-out double to Adam Kennedy. Adam Dunn's hit by Oswalt with two down, setting Josh Willingham with two on. The Hammer rips a grounder by Greg Dobbs at third, two runs score, 5-1 Nats...After Werth's HR chases Stammen in the stop of the seventh, the Nats chase Roy Oswalt from the mound. Adam Kennedy, who ends the game 4 for 5 with 2 runs scored and an RBI, singles to start the seventh in front of Ryan Zimmerman, who does the same. Josh Willingham takes a one-out single to load the bases and Roger Bernadina doubles into the right field corner to score two more and make it 7-1. Ian Desmond's sac fly scores Willingham. 8-1 Nats. That's how it ends. 

• Miss The Game? The DC Faithful Were Watching...

• Final Score: Nationals 8, Phillies 1.

Nationals now 45-58.
