Oswalt makes return against Padres

Jul 28, 2007 - 2:08 PM San Diego (55-47) at Houston (45-58) 3:55 pm EDT

HOUSTON (Ticker) -- Roy Oswalt returns to the mound as the Houston Astros continue their weekend series with the San Diego Padres on Saturday.

Oswalt (9-6, 3.80 ERA) has not pitched since leaving a start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 20 due to a strain in his chest. The righthander is 6-1 with a 2.48 ERA in 13 starts at Minute Maid Park this season.

Greg Maddux (7-7, 4.19) starts for the Padres, who have dropped six of eight games. Seeking the 341st win of his career, the 41-year-old has not won since June 27, a span of five starts.

Milton Bradley, acquired on June 29 from Oakland, hit his fourth homer as a Padre to helped the team post a 9-4 victory in Friday's opener.

Houston's Craig Biggio has 3,020 hits in his career and is tied Rafael Palmeiro for 23rd on the all-time list.
