(August 27, 2008)--Roy Oswalt beat Cincinnati yet again, limiting the Reds to five hits in seven innings in the Houston Astros' 4-1 victory Wednesday night.

Hunter Pence and Ty Wigginton hit two-run homers to help Oswalt beat the Reds for the 22nd time in 23 decisions.

Oswalt (12-9) struck out three and allowed only four baserunners in his last five innings. The Houston ace has won seven straight decisions over Cincinnati since a 5-4 loss at Great American Ball Park on April 28, 2006. He hasn't lost to the Reds in Houston since 2004.

Pence homered off Josh Fogg (2-7), the Cincinnati starter who has dropped his last five decisions and his last seven against Houston. Fogg hasn't won in six starts since he was hit in the mouth by Joey Votto's line drive during batting practice on July 22. Fogg needed 30 stitches to his upper lip.

Wigginton homered in the seventh against Houston native Gary Majewski and has hit eight of his 17 homers this month.
