07/19/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard has been named the National League Player of the Week for the period ending July 18.

Howard batted .400 and blasted four home runs over an abbreviated week due to the All-Star game festivities. He also led the majors with eight runs batted in over a four-game series with the Cubs highlighted by a four-RBI, two-homer game on July 15 at Wrigley Field.

The 30-year-old slugger hit his 20th home run of the season the next day, marking a sixth straight season with at least 20 homers. In the series finale Sunday, Howard went deep again to tie Hall of Famer Chuck Klein for fourth place on the Phillies' all-time list with 243 career home runs.

This is Howard's sixth career weekly award.

Other nominees for the weekly award included Chicago's Starlin Castro and Marlon Byrd, Pittsburgh's Paul Maholm, All-Star Game MVP Brian McCann of the Braves, Cincinnati's Drew Stubbs, San Francisco's Tim Lincecum and Stephen Strasburg of the Nationals.
