    I'm pretty sure #1 is Bob Watson. I think #5 is Darryl Kile against the Mets.

    Ken Johnson lost the no hitter
    Bob Watson hit for the cycle in both leagues
    First Astro turf game was against the Dodgers
    Ryan's first win came against the Astros and Dierker
    Eddie Mathews hit his 500th off of Marichal

    and I'll have to guess on the two homer game and say Roman Mejias.


    Good questions, I never knew Eddie Mathews played for Houston.
