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.''

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

By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer

Cleveland (76-72) at Houston (66-83), 8:10 p.m. EDT

The Cleveland Indians' slim playoff hopes are fading fast and they may be out of it entirely by the time they leave Houston if they can't contain Jose Altuve.

Cleveland will look to avoid a fifth straight loss Tuesday night against the Astros.

The Indians fell 3-1 in Monday's opener, a fourth straight loss that dropped them six games back of the AL's second wild-card spot. Cleveland (76-73) hasn't lost five straight since a season-worst six-game skid from April 25-30.

"We're in this thing until they tell me we're out of it," said Michael Brantley, who was 2 for 4 to improve his average to .423 over the last 18 contests. "That's how I look at it. That is how everyone in this locker room looks at it. We need to score more runs, we need to play better baseball. There is no other way to put it."

Brantley is 8 for 16 during the skid, while the rest of the team has hit .225.

The Astros (67-83) will be looking to win a sixth straight home game for the first time since April 22-May 5, 2012.

Altuve was 3 for 4 with a triple and two RBIs Monday, raising his average to .342 and his hit total to 209 - both of which lead the majors. He's one shy of Craig Biggio's 1998 team record for hits and improved his single-season club mark for multihit games to 63.

The second baseman has hit .466 during a 14-game hitting streak at Minute Maid Park.

"He's a magician with the wand," interim manager Tom Lawless said. "I've seen it a long time, but seeing it up close and personal, it's amazing what he can do with the bat in his hand."

Altuve is 0 for 3 in his career against Corey Kluber, who will be tasked with slowing him down Tuesday.

Kluber (15-9, 2.45 ERA), the first Indians pitcher with 15 wins since Cliff Lee had 22 in 2008, is 5-3 with a 1.49 ERA over his last 10 starts. He's thrown a combined 17 1-3 innings in back-to-back wins since going a season-low 2 2-3 in a Sept. 1 loss to Detroit.

The right-hander's 212 2-3 innings rank fourth in baseball.

"He's been so amazingly consistent, and at a high level - and he's only going to get better," manager Terry Francona said.

Kluber won both of his starts against Houston last season, giving up two runs in 9 1-3 innings while striking out 10.

Nick Tropeano (1-0, 3.60) gets the ball for Houston after limiting Seattle to two runs and four hits over five-plus innings of a 5-2 victory Wednesday in his big league debut.

"It's a little surreal," Tropeano told MLB's official website. "Just my major league debut, kind of all just kind of happening so fast. Just glad I got it out of the way and got my feet wet and helped contribute to a win."
