Happy Birthday - 6/17

Happy Birthday to ~

LHP Yhoan Acosta (19)
This lefty from the Dominican Republic pitched in four games (5.1IP) for the DSL team in August 2013. This season, he already has three starts for the DSL Astros Orange team with a 3.68 ERA and a 1.432 WHIP in 14.2 innings.

One former Astro celebrates the day as well ~

LHP Mike Magnante (49)
Originally drafted by Kansas City in the 11th round in 1988, Magnante came to Houston as a free agent in December of 1996. In 88 games for the Astros in 1997 and 1998, Magnante was 7-8 with a 3.62 ERA, a 1.329 WHIP and 3 saves. Apparently, he fielded his position pretty well, too, as he was first in the league with a 1.000 fielding percentage in 1992 and first in range factor for a pitcher in 1998 and 2000.
