There are no future Astros or former Astros with birthdays today, so I thought I would provide you with a little Colt 45's trivia in place of the daily birthday wish.
The only pitcher in Houston franchise history to lose 20 games was Turk Farrell who lost 20 games with the 1962 Colt 45's expansion team. He lost 20 despite having a very respectable 3.02 ERA and the lowest WHIP since 1917 of any 20-game loser (1.097).
Phil Niekro lost 20 games for Atlanta ... twice. In 1977, he was 16-20 and in 1979, he was 21-20. There has only been one 20-game loser since 1980 ~ Mike Maroth was 9-21 for Detroit in 2003.
