Happy Birthday - 10/2

Happy Birthday to ~

RHP Lance McCullers (21)
A first round supplemental pick by Houston in 2012, McCullers spent his entire 2014 season pitching in the not-so-friendly California League. In 25 games (18 starts) for Lancaster, he was 3-6 with a 5.47 ERA and a 1.557 WHIP. He struck out 115 batters while walking 56 in 97 innings pitched.

Two former Astros mark the day as well ~

3B Oswaldo Navarro (30)
Originally signed as a NDFA out of Venezuela by the Mariners in 2001, Navarro came to the Astros organization as a free agent in 2009.  He appeared in 14 games with the Astros in 2010 and had one hit and five walks in 20 at-bats.

SS/3B Ernie Riles (54)
A third round draft pick by Milwaukee in 1981, Riles came to Houston as a free agent in January 1992. In 39 games for the Astros, he hit .262/.281/.328.
