After pitching in parts of two seasons, the Blue Jays sent Munro to the Texas Rangers as the player to be named later traded for Dave Martinez. He re-signed with the Rangers for the 2001 season.[1]
Munro signed with the Houston Astros before the 2002 season and split time between AAA and the majors, pitching to a career low 3.57 ERA in 19 games (14 starts). His career highlight came on June 11, 2003, when he combined with Houston pitchersRoy Oswalt, Kirk Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel, and Billy Wagner to throw the first no-hitter against the New York Yankees in 45 years. The Astros sextet also set a major league record for the highest number of pitchers to throw a no-hitter.
In 2003, Munro pitched the majority of the season out of the bullpen, appearing in 40 games while making 2 spot starts during the season.
In his final season with Houston, he went 4–7 with a 5.15 ERA. Another highlight in Munro's career was in the 2004 NLCS, when he got the ball in Game 2 and Game 6 (In Game 6, he was picked to start over 7-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens). After the season, he signed with the Minnesota Twins on a minor league deal.
