Oswalt calls it quits

Right-hander Roy Oswalt retired from baseball on Tuesday after 13 major league seasons that had him criss-crossing the country with time in the American and National Leagues. Oswalt, 36, had a 163-102 career record with a 3.36 ERA. His best season came with Houston in 2004, when he went 20-10 with a 3.49 ERA. The durable starter – a three-time All-Star and 2006 N.L. Championship Series MVP – went over 200 innings seven times in his career but dealt with injuries in recent years. He was 0-6 with an 8.63 ERA in nine outings and six starts for Colorado last year. A 23rd-round pick by Houston in the 1996 draft, Oswalt pitched his first nine-plus seasons for the Astros (2001-10) and then played for Philadelphia (2010-11), Texas (2012) and the Rockies last year. – AP
