HOUSTON (AP) - The Atlanta Braves have no problem getting to the postseason. Winning a series is proving to be much more difficult.

Not bad for a No. 3 starter. Oswalt pitched into the eighth inning, striking out seven of the next 12 batters after his awkward spill, and the Astros beat the Atlanta Braves 7-3 Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five series.
