Just three years ago, pitcher Scott Kazmir, returned home to Houston to save his All-Star career.
Now, the lefthander from Cy Falls, is coming home again to help the Astros continue their run to a potential playoff spot.
The Astros acquired Kazmir from the Oakland A’s on Thursday for a pair of minor leaguers to add another starting pitcher for the stretch run.
Kazmir, 31, will start Friday’s game against Kansas City in the latest step in his remarkable turnaround.
A two-time All-Star with Tampa Bay early in his career, Kazmir found himself out of the majors by 2011.
