The Phillies Zone: The Phillies have completed a trade with the Houston Astros for Roy Oswalt. A source said lefthanded pitcher J.A. Happ and outfielder Anthony Gose are a part of the package the Phillies would send to Houston.
In the second inning, 22-year-old Domonic Brown came to bat in front of a standing ovation at Citizens Bank Park. He stepped in, shook his head, and smiled again. Then he belted the ball off the right-field wall, three feet shy of a two-run home run.
The Phillies' 7-1 victory over the Diamondbacks pushed their season-high winning streak to seven games, and kept them 3 1/2 games behind the Braves. It was dominated by two players, who, a year ago, thought they might be trading places.
High Cheese: Roy Oswalt is scheduled to make his Phillies debut tomorrow night against Washington at Nationals Park. Oswalt was scheduled to pitch tomorrow night for Houston prior to the deal so he will remain on his usual turn.
