Astros second baseman Jose Altuve was back in the leadoff spot for the first time in seven games Sunday against the Mariners. Altuve is batting .323 with a .375 on-base percentage in the leadoff spot, which is better than the likes of leadoff hitters Jacoby Ellsbury and Ian Kinsler.
"I actually wish I could hit him one through nine, but they won't let me do that," manager Bo Porter joked, per MLB.com. "He's going to hit one or two. It all depends on who else is in the lineup. A lot of time it has to do with the other eight guys as to where he'll hit."
