Sosa appeared in only nine games for the Houston Astros in 1976, his second year in the Majors, which would be the entirety of his career.
In those nine games he didn’t factor in a decision and had an earned run average of 6.94 over 11.2 innings, all out of the bullpen.
In his rookie year of 1975 he played in 25 games, faring much better when he posted a record of 1-3 with an ERA of 4.02, also picking up a save in 47 innings of work, with two of those appearances starts.
But after two seasons in the Houston Minor League system in 1977 and 1978 without a call-up, he called it a career and finished with that 1-3 record over 34 appearances, with an ERA at 4.60 in 58.2 innings pitched.
