It's nice to see Ol' Roy back, and it's even nicer to ponder that Houston dodged a bullet by keeping him instead of trading him.
How did Oswalt do today against the top team in baseball? Against the Chicago Cubs, Oswalt pitched nearly a complete game--going 8.1 innings and giving up four hits, no runs and striking out three. He's a 3.91 on what has definitely been an off-season. Amazingly, he's now 13-9 on the season. If not for his struggles, he might've won 20 games.
Jose Valverde got two outs to get his 38th save on the season. He got a scare as Derek Lee's potential game-tying opposite field fly ball died on the warning track.
Houston's now 72-66 and have won six in a row.
Tomorrow Houston faces Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who's had oodles and oodles of success against the 'Stros.
