Happy Birthday - 8/6

Happy Birthday to ~

LHP Starlyng Sanchez (19)
Sanchez is a recent addition to the DSL team. He has made four appearances out of the bullpen and has not allowed a run in four and a third innings.

LHP Kyle Hallock (25)
A 10th round draft pick by the Astros out of Kent State in 2011, Hallock missed most of the 2012 season after he had surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow. In 2013, he has been bounced around the system. A lot. Starting the season at Quad Cities, Hallock went first to AAA Oklahoma City, then to Hi-A Lancaster, then to AA Corpus Christi, then back to Lancaster and now is back with Corpus Christi once more. His season record to date is 5-4 with a 5.80 ERA and a 1.475 WHIP in 27 games (10 starts).

2B Jim Pankovits (58)
A fourth round pick by Houston in 1976, Pankovits played in 316 games for Houston from 1984 to 1988, hitting .250/.307/.349. After his playing days, he managed in the minor leagues including a stint as the manager for the 2010 New York-Penn League Champion Tri-City team in 2010.
