NEW YORK — The Houston Astros are bringing another Biggio on board. Another Rocket, too.

Notre Dame outfielder Conor Biggio, son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, was selected by the Astros in the 34th round of the Major League Baseball draft on Wednesday.

One round later, the Astros took Texas high school shortstop Kody Clemens, the youngest son of seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens.

The Astros also took the brother of current outfielder Preston Tucker (outfielder Kyle Tucker, fifth overall) and son of former All-Star Mike Cameron (outfielder Daz Cameron, 37th overall).
