Game 150. It’s moments like this when you realize what a long season it really is. Tonight, Zach McAllister (3-6, 5.97) makes his first start since July 31. He’s lost his last 10 starts. He faces right-hander Collin McHugh (9-9, 2.79). The Indians took 2 out of 3 from the Astros at Progressive Field back in August. They’re in Houston for a four-game series. Could they sweep? Stranger things have happened. Do they need to sweep? Why yes.
