Pittsburgh gets another crack at Roy Oswalt today, and you might remember that things didn’t go so well for the Pirates when they faced the right-hander 10 days ago. Oswalt allowed one hit — a first-inning single to Neil Walker – in his complete-game shutout. The one-hit game was the second of Oswalt’s career; the shutout was his seventh.

PIRATES: A. McCutchen (CF), J. Tabata (LF), N. Walker (2B), G. Jones (1B), P. Alvarez (3B), R. Doumit (C), L. Milledge (RF), R. Cedeno (SS), P. Maholm (LHP)

Maholm vs. HOU: 8-5 in 14 starts, 90 IP, 96 H, 39 ER, 7 HR, 30 BB, 41 K

ASTROS: J. Bourgeois (CF), J. Keppinger (2B), H. Pence (RF), C. Lee (LF), P. Feliz (1B), C. Johnson (3B), A. Sanchez (SS), J. Castro (C), R. Oswalt (RHP)

Oswalt vs PIT: 15-7 in 28 games, 191 IP, 172 H, 53 ER, 7 HR, 29 BB, 153 K
