The Venezuelan José Altuve has known how to take advantage of the short time he has been healthy in the 2023 Major League season and an example of this has been his performance in the last two games of the Houston Astros against the Texas Rangers, in which he made history by hitting five home runs in six at-bats.
Injuries have limited the second baseman to just 68 games this year, but to his fortune and his rivals’ misfortune, He is completely healthy in the final part of the season and the Rangers have verified it in a not very nice way.
Altuve lived up to what is perhaps the most important series of the season, one in which the first place in the American League West Division is at stake, and it is that he not only contributed to his team winning the first two game by bulky scores of 13-6 and 14-1, but He also made history in the Majors with his hits.
And it is that between his last turn of the game on Monday and the first three of the game on Tuesday, ‘Astroboy’ hit four home runs to become the first expansion-era player (since 1961) to hit home runs in four consecutive inningsaccording to the Elias Sports Bureau.
But the achievements of the Venezuelan do not stop there since, Tuesday’s was his first three-homer game in the Major League Baseball regular season.recalling that his only three-homer game before this one had come in Game 1 of the 2017 American League Division Series.
In addition, he became the first player in Houston Astros history to hit five home runs in a two-game span. He is also the first franchise player with consecutive multi-homer games since 2000 when Richard Hidalgo did.
