Roy Oswalt posted his second straight impressive outing Tuesday against the A's, hurling 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball in a 6-1 win. Texas is now 4-1 in five outings, despite Oswalt's 5.22 ERA. He scattered three hits while striking out six and not walking a batter. Over his first three starts for the Rangers, Oswalt posted a 7.79 ERA while allowing a ridiculous 35 hits. In his two subsequent outings, Oswalt has given up only two runs over 12 innings on eight hits and a 9/2 K/BB rate. Those two outings came against the Twins and A's, however, so mixed leaguers will want to wade carefully if they decide to consider the possibility of activating the former All-Star.
