on the lookout

Curious to see what kind of outing Roy Oswalt has tonight. The ex-Holmes Community College star returns to the mound for Philadelphia against St. Louis for his first start since April 26. Oswalt got knocked around for six hits, a walk and five runs in three innings in a loss to Arizona. He then left the club to help his family in Weir clean up from the tornadoes that ripped through his home state on April 27. When he returned to the Phils, he went on the DL with a back problem. Oswalt is 3-1 with a 3.33 ERA; he faces Jaime Garcia (5-0, 1.89) and a pretty solid Cardinals lineup tonight. … Tim Dillard, the Itawamba CC product from Saltillo, was recalled to the big leagues by Milwaukee on Saturday but has yet to make an appearance. The tall right-hander last pitched in the majors on July 31, 2009. The Brewers altered Dillard’s delivery to a sidearm style in the spring of 2010. He went 5-7 with a 4.12 ERA in 41 games (eight starts) for Triple-A Nashville last season and was 3-1, 3.51 there this year before getting the call, which he said was a pleasant surprise.
