HOUSTON (AP) -Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt left the game Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers with an apparent injury.
Oswalt allowed one run and six hits with nine strikeouts through six innings. He grounded out to relief pitcher Ramon Troncoso to end the Astros’ half of the sixth. Houston led 4-1.
Catcher Brad Ausmus walked before Oswalt batted and while he was in the dugout putting on his equipment, backup catcher Humberto Quintero caught Oswalt’s warmup pitches for the seventh.
Oswalt called Quintero to the mound and after a brief conversation, Quintero signaled to the dugout. Manager Cecil Cooper and assistant athletic trainer Rex Jones came out to check on Oswalt and he walked off the field with Jones. Oswalt threw 78 pitches.
Chris Sampson came in to relieve.
