<p>Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/378/Roy_Oswalt">Roy Oswalt</a> tossed his first complete-game shutout in a <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/teams/philadelphia-phillies">Phillies</a> uniform, as Philadelphia handled the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/teams/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a>, 3-0, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Citi Field.</p>
<p>Oswalt (12-13), who came to Philadelphia from Houston in late July, gave up just four hits to win his sixth straight decision. The right-hander also struck out six and walked one. It was the second time he went the distance while blanking an opponent this year, after shutting down the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/teams/pittsburgh-pirates">Pirates</a> on July 8.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/853/Raul_Ibanez">Raul Ibanez</a> hit a solo homer for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.thegoodphight.com/">Phillies</a>, who got an RBI apiece from <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/188/Chase_Utley">Chase Utley</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/players/189/Ryan_Howard">Ryan Howard</a>.</p>
<p>Philadelphia, which has won five of six, sits a half-game ahead of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/teams/atlanta-braves">Braves</a> in the NL East standings. Atlanta plays against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="../../mlb/teams/st-louis-cardinals">Cardinals</a> later Sunday.</p>
