HOUSTON, June 30 (UPI) -- Lance Berkman homered and Roy Oswalt was cruising before leaving in the seventh with an injury Monday in Houston's 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Roy Oswalt (7-8) gave up only one run on six hits with no walks and nine strikeouts, but had to be lifted before throwing a pitch in the seventh because of a strained right hip.
