Oswalt today.
Gave up three runs in the. First inning on a homer and four hits.
I think something is off with him since he came back from the family leave and his back injury.
He didn't win a game in May and is 0-4 since late April. He's pitched pretty decent but has that one inning where he seems to lose his concentration or something and it happened again today with that first inning.
Now Howard is up here in the first and the Phils have runners on the corners with one out.
Howard waiting, kept his balance on a slow curve and smacked one right off the bottom of the wall in dead center, nice at bat.
Hopefully he can get his average back over .240 today.
This guy pitching for the Cubs is throwing BP up there. Bases loaded one and all they get is one run after Ibanez strikesout swing at a 83 mph fastball and Ruiz lines out to third.
Nice recovery for Oswalt in the second. He got behind two guys 3-1 and recovered to get a meek grounder and a pop-up.
This Cubs pitcher, Doug Davis has an era over 6 and is 0-5 on the season. They better score some runs on this bum.
They do get one more in the third BUT for the second time in three innings they have the bases loaded with one out and don't get more runs.
They end up with only two runs off this guy but Marshall came in and they got two runs off him again same as yesterday.
Game ends right after Soto smokes one just foul in left for a long loud out, then pops one into right that Utley has to make great running catch on.
Mood, feeling pretty good after taking three of four this weekend. Howard did get his average up over .240 with a 3-3 and three RBI's. Utley had another big hit and is starting to look really good again.
Oswalt really came back after that first inning and held the Cubs of the bases.
Win 4-3
Streak 3 wins
Last ten 6-4
Record 40-26 first to forty wins but only 15-14 last 29 games.
