HOUSTON Perhaps no team in the expansion era can brag about top-flight starting pitching as much as the Astros, whose history includes four Cy Young winners Mike Scott in 1986, Roger Clemens in 2004, Dallas Keuchel in 15 and Justin Verlander in 19 and dominating seasons by Larry Dierker, J.R. Richard, Nolan Ryan, Roy Oswalt and Gerrit Cole that were Cy worthy.
Not included in those names are three of the four pitchers to win at least 21 games in a season with Houston Mike Hampton won a club-record 22 in 1999, while Joe Niekro ( 79) and Jose Lima ( 99) were 21-game winners like Verlander ( 19). With those names in the history books, it’s no surprise there have been many jaw-dropping individual performances throughout the years.
