Stammen, Nationals spoil Oswalt's Philly debut

Roy Oswalt's first game as a Phillie left ample room for improvement.

Craig Stammen carried a shutout into the seventh inning and the host Washington Nationals roughed up Oswalt in his Philadelphia debut, halting the Phillies' eight-game winning streak with an 8-1 victory Friday night.

"I came out amped up, held the ball a little tight," said Oswalt, who absorbed his major league-leading 13th defeat. "Didn't really start feeling better until the last two innings. Didn't really go my way."

Oswalt (6-13), a former 20-game winner acquired from Houston Thursday, allowed five runs and seven hits in six innings. He walked two, struck out four and hit two batters.

Stammen (3-4) gave up one run and five hits in 61/3 innings.
