Astros manager A.J. Hinch said after Tuesday night’s American League Wild Card Game victory in New York that Collin McHugh would serve as the team’s ALDS Game 1 starter on Thursday against the Royals. Now we know how the rest of Houston’s Division Series rotation will shake out ...
Hinch told Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle on Wednesday that Scott Kazmir will pitch Game 2 on Friday and Dallas Keuchel will take Game 3 on Sunday. Keuchel tossed six scoreless innings on Tuesday night against the Yankees to push the Astros past the Wild Card round.
If the Astros need a Game 4 starter, they’ll go with either Lance McCullers or Mike Fiers.
