Final
Oswalt gets start against Rangers
Jun 23, 2007 - 1:53 PM Houston (31-42) at Texas (29-44) 3:55 pm EDTARLINGTON, Texas (Ticker) - Roy Oswalt will look to give the Houston Astros a lift in the battle for the Silver Boot.
Oswalt takes the mound as the Astros hope to avoid a three-game losing streak when they face the Texas Rangers in the second of a three-game interleague series on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Oswalt (7-4, 3.51 ERA) pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing three runs and 12 hits with six strikeouts in a 10-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners to record his first win since May 12.
The Rangers will counter with Jamey Wright (0-1, 10.57), who has struggled against the Astros in his career. The righthander has posted a 1-12 record with a 7.09 ERA in 17 career games against the Astros.
Wright surrendered four runs and nine hits over five innings in an 8-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds last Saturday.
Sammy Sosa blasted his 601st career home run and drove in four runs in the Rangers, 11-3, victory over the Astros on Friday.
Craig Biggio singled in the fifth inning for his 2,993rd career hit.
