Oswalt threw six strong innings against his former team and
Ryan Howard homered and drove in four runs to help the
Philadelphia Phillies complete a season-opening, three-game sweep with a 7-3 win over the
Houston Astros on Sunday. Over the weekend
Halladay, Lee and Oswalt combined to pitch 19 innings while allowing six runs and 14 hits. They first of the 3 aces struck out 24 and only gave up one walk. Howard gave Oswalt some early run support, launching a three-run shot in the first into the bullpen in right-center. He also had an RBI double in the third and, counting his single in the fifth, is 7 for 13 with six
RBIs and three
runs scored through three games.
Jimmy Rollins went 2 for 3 for
Philadelphia, which had 13 hits off five Houston pitchers. Rollins is 6 for 12 with four runs this season. The Phillies are off to a great start and look to continue the winning streak Tuesday as the Mets come to town for a three game series.
Cole Hamels takes the hill for the first game looking to continue the dominate performace by the 4 aces this past weekend.
