Astros starting pitcher Collin McHugh will start Game 1 of the ALDS against the Royals, the Houston Chronicle reports.

McHugh was hit-or-miss over his final few starts, but he threw the ball very well after the All-Star break, posting a 3.11 ERA over his final 14 starts. He will square off against the Royals' Yordano Ventura on Thursday night.
