Mike Scott

Mike Scott pitched nine seasons in a Houston uniform, tallying a 110-81 record with a 3.30 ERA and 1,318 strikeouts in 263 games (259 starts). He became the first pitcher in MLB history to throw a no-hitter in a clinching situation when he shut down San Francisco, 2-0, to help the Astros wrap up the NL West Division title on Sept. 25, 1986. Scott won the NL Cy Young Award that season after winning 18 games and leading the National League in ERA (2.22), innings pitched (275.1) and strikeouts (306). A three-time All-Star with Houston, Scott's heroics in the 1986 National League Championship Series made him the first player ever to win NLCS MVP honors while pitching for the losing team. He held the Mets to just one run in 18.0 innings across two starts in that series, both of which were wins. In 1989, Scott became the first Astros pitcher to win 20 games in a season.
