Altuve shows never-give-up drive after injury

Altuve was obviously in pain, so much so that he slammed his glove to the ground in an act of frustration. Heck, his hand even went numb.

"It was scary when he rolled up on his wrist," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said.

Jose Altuve dives up the middle on Kyle Seager's grounder and lands on his left wrist, but stays in the game after a visit from the trainer

But that's not Altuve's style. Not with a postseason spot still on the line for the Astros, who, with five games left in their regular season, enter Tuesday 3 1/2 games behind Baltimore for the second American League Wild Card spot.
