Nomad Joe Sambito Found a Home with Astros
Houston pitcher Joe Sambito, after a season of bouncing between Memphis and Columbus, finally starred in the Astrodome against the St. Louis Cardinals.

He credited his run support, with Jose Cruz, Roger Metzger, and Enos Cabell producing runs, while Sambito’s early start in place of injured Joaquin Andujar showcased his durability and growing role.
