Although Carlos Lee was selected as the Astros' lone representative for the 78th annual MLB All-Star game, Houstonians can change that. Roy Oswalt was selected as one of five National League players vying for the final spot.
For the season, Oswalt is 7-5 with a 3.42 ERA. His season has had its ups and downs with the Astros defense and bullpen blowing more than its share of games. On Tuesday, Roy pitched seven solid innings allowing only one run, but the Houston offense was stagnant until Oswalt was relieved. The offense then decided to exploded with seven runs in the final four innings giving Brain Moehler the extra inning win on Biggio's historic night.
For his career, Oswalt is a two-time All-Star with a 105-52 record, best in the NL since 2001. He was a back-to-back 20 game winner in '04 and '05 and helped propel the Astros to their first ever World Series in 2005 while garnering NLCS MVP. Astros fans have until Thursday, July 5 to help vote Roy Oswalt to his third All-Star game.
