Astros second baseman Jose Altuve came through in the clutch, as he launched a game-winning, walk-off home run to beat the Red Sox 5-4 on Thursday.
The home run, his ninth of the year, was part of a four-hit night for the All-Star second baseman. Altuve singled twice and doubled and scored a run earlier in the game. He also swiped his 28th base of the year, as he successfully filled up the scoresheet on Thursday.
This was the first walk-off home run of Altuve's career, and just the second walk-off hit of any kind.
Altuve is batting .414 with four doubles and two homers over his current seven-game hitting streak.
