We all had hoped it would be Collin McHugh taking the mound in game one of the ALCS. However, a bullpen implosion in game four forces the Astros to go with McHugh in tonight’s winner-take-all game five.
The 19-game winner took on the Royals in game one and pitched the Astros to a 5-2 win. McHugh finished with six innings of four-hit, two-run ball, while walking one and striking out another.

In game one the Astros tattooed Yordano Ventura for three early runs. Ventura pitched in game four so the Royals are going with Johnny Cueto to try and advance to the ALCS.
