Published 4/17/2008 at Yahoo! Sports - MLB News
Roy Oswalt was back to his old self, mixing in nasty off-speed pitches with a sharp fastball. Oswalt snapped out of an early funk with seven strong innings, Michael Bourn hit a tiebreaking solo homer and the Houston Astros beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 Wednesday night. "He was vintage Roy," Astros manager Cecil Cooper said.

The Phillies pitching was continually mentioned as the thing that would hold back the Phillies this season, but in the last few games, the offense has failed while the pitching has come through. Kyle Kendrick, who has been nothing short of terrible this season, pitched a gem by his standards, going 7 innings, striking out 5 batters, and giving up only 2 runs on 4 hits.
