HOUSTON (AP) - Roy Oswalt struck out nine in six strong innings,
then left with an apparent injury in the Houston Astros' 4-1 win
over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Oswalt (7-8) allowed a run and six hits Monday, but walked off
the field with an Astros trainer after throwing his warmup pitches
for the seventh. There was no immediate word on why he left the
game.
Lance Berkman homered and Brad Ausmus added a two-run single off Eric Stults (2-1) to help the Astros win for the seventh time in 10
games. Jose Valverde pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his 22nd
save.
