KEY GAME INFORMATION
CLEVELAND: CLEVELAND (AP) - Jason Kipnis didn't want it to end. He had plenty of company.
After the final out ended the club's magical, turnaround season so jarringly last October, Kipnis, who made his first All-Star team in 2013 and a few of his teammates lingered in the dugout and watched as Tampa Bay's players celebrated their 4-0 win in the AL wild-card playoff game.
One and done. Hardly the finish Cleveland wanted.
And once again, the city would remain without a major sports championship, a drought approaching its 50-year anniversary.
But despite their brief postseason appearance in manager Terry Francona's first year, the Indians intend to play in October again - and again.
''We don't want it to be a fluke,'' Kipnis said. ''We don't want to be a one-trick pony. We want to be at the top and we want to stay there.''
Hoping to build off their unexpected 92-win campaign, the Indians enter 2014 confident they can not only contend this season, but go even further.
During spring training in Arizona, first baseman Nick Swisher, who also serves as the club's high-energy hype man, handed out ''Unfinished Business'' T-shirts to his teammates.
The Indians aren't satisfied.
''Last season, hopefully, was a steppingstone that we needed to get us going in the right direction,'' Swisher said. ''Last year was that amazing year to get us in the right mind frame to say, `Hey, we can do this. We are a team. And people need to start recognizing it.'''
Cleveland had to win its final 10 games just to make the playoffs. The late-season kick wouldn't have been necessary if the Indians had played more consistently, and more evenness has been a focus for Francona, who feels his club has the makings to do something special again.
''I love our team,'' said the AL's manager of the year. ''I love coming to the ballpark and watching them play. They are easy to like because they try hard. When you can show up with a group of guys and you respect the way they go about things it makes the challenging times more fulfilling. We know we can do it now. We've got to try and go do it better.''
HOUSTON: HOUSTON (AP) - Coming off three straight 100-loss seasons, the Houston Astros are confident they'll be better this year.
How much? They aren't putting a number on that. But after setting a franchise record with a whopping 111 defeats, they have a simple target.
''It's our goal to be the most improved team in major league baseball (and) I believe ... we have the group together and we can actually accomplish that,'' second-year manager Bo Porter said.
There are several reasons why the Astros are certain they can improve. They brought in several established players this offseason to pair with the many young players who got their first significant playing time last season. They also could get some reinforcements soon from top prospects who are inching closer to being major league ready.
General manager Jeff Luhnow's rebuilding plan has already boosted Houston's minor league system from the worst in baseball to one of the best. He expects that work to start paying dividends this season in the majors.
''We have a young team. We're still going to make some mistakes,'' he said. ''Our young players have improved but still need some development. We brought in some veterans to help stabilize the team this year. We're going to see a big improvement as a result of those two dynamics.''

(UPDATES to show McHugh third in ERA since August)

*Indians-Astros Preview* ========================

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer

Cleveland (76-71) at Houston (65-83), 8:10 p.m. EDT

After getting swept by AL Central-leading Detroit, the Cleveland Indians are running out of time in their bid to reach back-to-back postseasons for the first time in 15 years.

It doesn't appear to be getting easier as they face red-hot Collin McHugh and the Houston Astros.

The Indians hope to put an end to their longest losing streak since early August while denying the Astros a season high-tying fifth straight home win in Monday night's opener of a four-game set.

Although Michael Brantley continued his tear with two more hits Sunday, Cleveland's bullpen allowed two runs in both the seventh and eighth innings in a crushing 6-4 loss to the Tigers.

The Indians entered the series 3 1/2 games behind Detroit for the AL's second wild-card spot and four games behind then first-place Kansas City in the division. Now they're five games out of a wild-card spot and 6 1/2 behind the first-place Tigers.

"Now we're going to have to get real hot real fast," center fielder Michael Bourn said.

Brantley is batting .418 over his past 16 games, but Cleveland has averaged 3.3 runs - almost one full run less than its 4.2 season mark - over its last 10.

The Indians (76-72), who haven't dropped four straight since Aug. 5-8, totaled seven runs while taking two of three from Houston at Progressive Field from Aug. 22-24.

McHugh (9-9, 2.79 ERA) will try to keep those bats quiet while leading the Astros to their 13th win in 19 home games.

The right-hander has been one of the majors' top pitchers since the beginning of August with a 5-0 record and a 1.69 ERA that ties him for third in baseball over that span. He allowed one run and two hits over eight innings in Tuesday's 2-1 victory at Seattle.

"He's been tough on a lot of people lately," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon told MLB's official website.

McHugh did not get a decision in his only meeting with the Indians, allowing two runs over 5 1-3 innings in a 3-2 loss Aug. 23.

Jose Ramirez went 7 for 13 in the August series versus Houston (66-83), while Lonnie Chisenhall went 4 for 9. Catcher Yan Gomes has gone 7 for 16 with a home run, triple and double in five career matchups with the Astros.

Making his first start since July 31, Zach McAllister (3-6, 5.97) will try to help Cleveland capture its ninth victory in 10 meetings dating to last season.

The right-hander gets another opportunity in the rotation despite going 0-6 with a 7.89 ERA in his last 10 starts because the Indians needed a spot starter following Thursday's doubleheader.

He pitched well in his only career start versus Houston, allowing one run over five innings in a 2-1 home win Sept. 20.

Slugger Chris Carter is 4 for 7 with a home run and a triple against McAllister. He's also batting .357 with three homers and seven RBIs over a 12-game hitting streak and has 10 home runs and 24 RBIs in his last 17 home games.

Jake Marisnick finished with three hits and Gregorio Petit added a home run, double and three RBIs in Sunday's 6-1 win that snapped the Los Angeles Angels' 10-game winning streak.

MLB hits-leader Jose Altuve went 2 for 4 to move within five hits of Craig Biggio's franchise record set in 1998.
