Astros Collin McHugh finishes in top 10 in AL Cy Young voting

It was Dallas Keuchel's day for sure. But, not to be forgotten is Collin McHugh. The Astros' No. 2 starter finished eighth in American League Cy Young Award voting - in between the Seattle Mariners' Felix Hernandez and the 2014 Cy Young Winner Corey Kluber of the Cleveland Indians.
