ting out the Phillies until Jay- son Werth led off the seventh inning with a solo homer, Philadelphia’s only run. “I can’t be satisfied, because
I’ve got to be able to do it two, three, four five, six, seven, eight times in a row,” Stammen said. “That’s the goal. That’s the cor- ner I have to turn to be an effec- tive starter in the big leagues.” On Friday night, Stammen
may have showed he is turning a hard-to-define corner. In his last start, despite lasting just five innings in Milwaukee, Stammen felt he had thrown better than any time this sea- son. In his last three starts, he’s allowed four earned runs in 171

carved up both sides of the plate with his boring sinker and a sharp curveball. He left Ryan Howard shaking his head after he snuck an inside fastball by him. He retired eight in a row at one point. Before Stam- men pitched this week, he watched his two starts against the Phillies from the start of the season, when he allowed 11 runs in nine innings. “I owed them one,” he said. Stammen allowed two or fewer earned runs for the sev-
enth time in 13 starts this sea- son. And yet, his ERA stood at 5.24 after the game. The last time he faced the Phillies, back in mid-April, Stammen record- ed four outs and yielded seven earned runs. He started the sea- son as the Nationals’ third starter, and that’s what he is right now, but in between the Nationals demoted him to Class AAA Syracuse. You figure it out.
innings. Then again, Stam- men surrendered 11 earned runs in the 82 that.
Stammen received support from a strange beginning. In the third inning, the Nationals already led, 1-0, thanks to Nyjer Morgan’s leadoff triple on Os- walt’s very first pitch as a Phil- lie. (“I wanted to get the party started off right,” Morgan said.) Oswalt grounded an apparent single through the right side, toward Roger Bernadina, who was shallow in right field. Dunn hung out a few steps away from first.
“If he sees me running
straight to the base,” Dunn said, “he’s going to run hard.” Bernadina and Dunn both
knew: They had a chance to re- tire Oswalt. Bernadina charged, Dunn finally moved to the base. Bernadina fired low to Dunn, who, facing right field, scooped the ball in time to re- tire Oswalt, 9-3. In the bottom of the inning, Stammen started a rally with a leadoff single. He moved to sec- ond when Oswalt hit Morgan

“Wish I was playing USA
Nats a message? First overall draft choice
Bryce Harper may be using social media as a negotiating ploy with the Nationals, posting two messages on what appears to be his Facebook page raising the possibility of returning to the College of Southern Nevada next season. Harper, a 17-year-old
outfielder and power-hitting phenom, posted this message earlier this week:
“Probably going back to CSN to try to win a National Championship!!! :)” Later, he followed with this:
more than anything!!! Summer has been crazy, and thinking about returning to CSN for another year!!! Very possible!” If Harper does not sign with
the Nationals by the Aug. 16 deadline, he could play for CSN next year and re-enter the draft in 2011. Those close to Harper, at the time of the draft on June 7, said he wanted to play as soon as he could. “I expect him to sign,” Tim
Chambers, Harper’s college coach, said in June. “I’m not a mind reader. I have talked to his family about it. They said, ‘We don’t want to hold out. We want to sign and get this over with.’ ” Harper’s agent, Scott Boras, created leverage for the No. 1
with a pitch. Adam Kennedy followed with a sacrifice bunt, dropping it a foot or two in front of home plate. Catcher Carlos Ruiz pounced on the ball and fired to third — which, un- fortunately for him, had been left unoccupied. The ball sailed into right field, and the Nation- als had another run. And Kennedy had one of his four hits. After struggling to ac- climate to a bench role at the start of the year, Kennedy is batting .394 since the all-star break. “It’s a grind, you know?” Kennedy said.” But it’s part of the job. Hopefully I can end the year with a good feeling.” The Nationals would only add on, the final meaningful blow a bases-loaded, two-run double by Bernadina in the sev- enth. At the end of the game, a blowout the Nationals let Col- lin Balester finish off, the crowd stood and cheered. The Phillies fans — who throughout the night chanted “Let’s Go Phillies!” had been drowned out, the trade deadline, at least for a few, fleeting hours, shoved aside. “As long as we keep winning,” Stammen said, “hopefully those chants won’t even be heard when the Phillies come to town.”
And Stammen had to wonder how he could make things like that happen more often.

pick last year by floating notion of Stephen Strasburg playing for a season in Japan and entering the majors as a free agent.
Capps will be missed
For the bullpen, the trade of Capps to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night was bittersweet. They had lost an admired teammate; their only all-star was replaced on the roster by Atahualpa Severino, a side-winding lefty from Class AAA Syracuse. But Capps got to play for a contender and one of them, they knew, would get to close. “It was disappointing in the sense of we’re losing a great guy,” reliever Tyler Clippard said. “Cappy was a great
teammate. On-the-field stuff spoke for itself. Now that it’s all said and done, you’ve got to look forward. I think we’ll be fine. Obviously, he did a great job for us. But there are a lot of guys we feel like can step into that role.” For now, the Nationals will use a committee and wait until one reliever emerges — or choose whichever pitcher is either throwing best or matches up well against the upcoming portion of the lineup. The likely candidates are Drew Storen, Clippard and Sean Burnett. Storen, a closer at Stanford, wants to prove he can man the ninth inning in the majors. “That’s what I’ve wanted to do,” Storen said. He credited Capps’s guidance for helping him into the role. He watched how Capps treated teammates, how he was always the first one at the park. “He’s kind of a guy I looked up to when I started out in spring training,” Storen said. — Adam Kilgore
‘Little Roy’ is a big addition to Phillies’ rotation phillies from D1
start of something for the Phil- lies — a new chapter, a new be- ginning, or merely a new Roy. When it was over, it felt like the end of something — namely, the Phillies’ eight-game winning streak.
Over the previous week or so, the Phillies had revived their season, jumping from seven games behind the first-place At- lanta Braves in the National League East to just 21
⁄2
back — the closest they had been in more than a month — enter- ing Friday’s play. There is an unwritten pact be-
tween players and management in any given franchise: If the players do their part to get the team into contention in late July, management will do them a sol- id, by acquiring the piece that could push them over the top. And nowhere has that pact been upheld more faithfully than Philadelphia. The Oswalt deal, General
Manager Ruben Amaro Jr.’s lat- est coup, marked the fifth con- secutive year the Phillies have
added a front-line starting pitch- er around the trade deadline, a string that stretches back to Ja- mie Moyer (2006) and also in- cludes Kyle Lohse (2007), Joe Blanton (2008) and Cliff Lee (2009).
games
And that’s not to mention cur- rent staff ace Roy Halladay — “Big Roy,” as Rollins has taken to calling him, in order to distin- guish him from Little Roy — whom the Phillies picked up in a blockbuster trade last Dec. 16, essentially swapping the game’s top lefty (Lee) for the game’s top righty (Halladay) in two separate deals that came one day apart. In Philadelphia, Oswalt will forever be compared to Lee — as the most recent trade has been wide- ly interpreted as an attempt to undo the damage of the much- criticized decision to deal Lee — but that’s a comparison Oswalt can never win. Oswalt gave up four earned runs Friday night; in 2009, Lee made it into the fourth inning of his sixth start for the Phillies before he gave up his fourth earned run in that uni- form.
But the Oswalt trade makes
sense. The cost was moderate, in terms of both prospects and money. And it came at the high- point of the Phillies’ season, with the team buoyed by the feeling of slowly becoming whole again. Jimmy Rollins (bruised left foot) was back in their lineup Friday night for the first time in five days. All-star second base- man Chase Utley (broken thumb) is taking grounders and could come off the disabled list in a few more weeks. Center fielder Shane Victorino (strained abdominal muscle) is perhaps two weeks from a return. Since he possessed full no-
trade privileges, Oswalt had the right to veto any trade, and he was bemused by the various me- dia reports saying he wasn’t fond of Philadelphia. “A lot of the re- ports,” he said, “were just made up. I heard a lot of stuff I [sup- posedly] said that I never said.” When it came time to decide, Os- walt called his former team- mate, Phillies closer Brad Lidge, got the scoop on the city and the team’s chemistry, and quickly approved the trade. “The playoffs,” Oswalt said,
describing what appealed to him about the move, “is where true baseball is at.” For the Phillies, the underly- ing motivation behind the Os- walt trade was both to help get them to October and, once they do that, to stay for the whole month. It wasn’t impossible for the Phillies to get to the post- season without Oswalt. But until Thursday, they were one front- line starting pitcher shy of the horsepower needed to make a deep run. “We got better,” Manuel said when the trade was announced. “We added a top-of-the-rotation starter in his prime. This sends a message to Philadelphia and all of baseball that we want to win.” After three straight division ti- tles and two straight trips to the World Series, winning has be- come an expectation in Philadel- phia — which carries its own set of joys and pressures. Just get- ting to October is no longer enough. Big Roy alone was not enough. The Phillies needed one more horse. They needed Little Roy.
