WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- Roy Oswalt threw eight shutout innings while Jimmy Rollins and Wilson Valdez both knocked in two runs Saturday in Philadelphia's 5-0 win over Washington.
Oswalt (6-7), who took the mound after his scheduled Friday start against Washington was pushed back by a rain delay, yielded eight hits and a walk but struck out nine in keeping the Nationals from reaching home.
