Phillie of the Week: August 8-14

It was another solid week for the Phillies, who went 4-2 and kept pace with the Braves in the National League East race. The Phils won two shutouts, and came back from a 9-2 hole in one game, but the offense doesn't get the crown this week. Instead, it goes to a man who made his first career start as a Phillie in Philadelphia. This week's Phillie of the Week is:

Roy Oswalt

In his start against the Dodgers at home this week, Oswalt showed why the Phillies traded for him. He picked up his first win as a Phil while throwing seven scoreless innings. He also struck out five while walking two. If he can pitch like that down the stretch, then the Phillies have one of the best three man rotations in baseball.
