Altuve continued his torrid start to the season Thursday, launching a home run and a double in four at-bats against the Royals.
Altuve followed up his three XBH game Wednesday by knocking two more extra base hits in Thursday's contest. What's more, Altuve was the Astros hitter with multiple hits Thursday with the rest of the lineup failing to figure out Royals starter Ian Kennedy. Altuve looks locked in at the dish right now and although he hasn't stolen a base in his last three games, his power production in that span more than makes up for it.
