Oswalt notches 200th win
Monday, May 27, 2013

BALTIMORE - The division-leading Boston Red Sox knocked the last place Orioles to 12 games back in the American League East with a 10-2 victory today, the 200th win in Roy Oswalt's fine career.
Oswalt, 35, threw a complete game tonight, giving up two runs on 10 hits and one walk with six strikeouts in nine innings of work. With the win, he improves to 5-2 on the season and 200-158 in his career.
"It's special to win 200 games. You don't do it yourself. You do it with good stuff and a good bullpen. You are only as good as the guys behind you," Oswalt said after the game. "Years from now I might look back on it and give myself a little pat on the back."
Offensively, Grady Sizemore led the Red Sox with a 4-for-4 performance that included two doubles and a two-run home run, walking once, scoring three runs and knocking in four runs. Miguel Cabrera had two hits, including a two-run homer and Dustin Pedroia picked up three hits.
With the win, Boston now holds a five-game lead over the second place New York Yankees, 7 1/2 games over the Tampa Bay Rays, eight games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays and 12 over the Orioles.
