MIAMI -- Jose Altuve's bat was already scorching hot on the road coming into Wednesday's series finale at Marlins Park, a 3-0 win that completed the three-game sweep over Miami. Houston's second baseman was already leading the American League with a .373 batting average on the road this season.
So it should have come as no surprise that Altuve became the first Astros player to hit two triples and two doubles in the same game. He delivered a run-scoring double in the first inning before slamming triples in the third and fifth innings, and he finished his 4-for-5 showing with another double in the ninth.
