It seems as if the hamstring issue that sidelined Astros second base Jose Altuve last week is a thing of the past. On Thursday, Altuve went 3 for 4 with two doubles, two stolen bases and three runs scored in the 4-0 win over the Yankees. This was his first multi-hit performance since June 8.
Altuve is 6 for 16 in the four games since returning from a short absence with the hamstring injury.
With the two stolen bases, Altuve is up to 20 on the year, giving him four straight seasons of at least 20 steals.
"That's part of my game against everyone," Altuve said, per MLB.com. "Try to get on base, get to the next base. We knew we only needed a couple runs to win the game because we had our best pitcher out there."
