Oswalt, Astros Edge Phillies 2-1



Roy Oswalt tossed seven innings of five-hit, one-run ball as the Astros went on to edge the Phillies 2-1 in the second-of-three at Citizens Bank Park. Oswalt fanned four and walked two en route to his first win of the season. Michael Bourn went 2-for-4 with a home run for Houston, which has won three-of-four to improve to 6-and-9 on the year. Carlos Lee doubled in a run in the victory. Doug Brocail closed things out for his first save. Ryan Howard singled in Jayson Werth in the first inning to provide the only run for Philadelphia, which slipped to 7-and-8. Kyle Kendrick gave up two runs in seven frames to take the tough-luck loss.
