The Phillies insert former Astro Roy Oswalt in left field after Ryan Howard is ejected in the 14th. Oswalt comes to bat as the last hope in the 16th before tapping out to third. The surprising Astros sweep the Phils and push all the way to third in the division before a late swoon leaves them with a 76-86 record and a fourth place finish.

2010 – The Astros win a marathon match with the Phillies, needing 16 innings and 5 hours to complete a 4 – 2 win in Philadelphia. After 1B Ryan Howard is ejected in the 14th inning, P Roy Oswalt is forced to play in LF for the Phils, who have no position players left.

In the top of the 16th, the Astros scrap out two runs against loser David Herndon on a single, a hit by pitch, a walk, and two ground balls to the infield; in the bottom of the inning, Oswalt grounds out with two on for the game’s final out.
