HOUSTON — Jose Altuve is the spark plug that powers the Houston Astros.
The boost he provides was on full display Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Angels, as he had a career-high five RBIs to lead the Astros to a 10-5 victory.
The Astros moved into a tie with the Angels for first place in the American League West.
"He sets the tempo every time he comes to the plate and we know something big is going to happen every time he's out there," Houston rookie Carlos Correa said.
The Astros fell behind by three early before tying it up with a three-run second inning, featuring a two-run homer by Chris Carter and an RBI single by Altuve.
