Astros: Jose Altuve wins fifth-consecutive Silver Slugger
Between the Gold Gloves, a Cy Young finalist, and Silver Sluggers, the Astros were well-represented in this year’s award circuit.
While the cold was starting to set in across Houston, Jose Altuve won his fifth-consecutive Silver Slugger on Thursday night.
The Astros‘ second baseman is the first player in club history to win five consecutive Silver Sluggers. He along with Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell, George Springer, Moises Alou, Carlos Lee, Morgan Ensberg, Mike Hampton, Glenn Davis, Jose Cruz, and Dickie Thon as the only players in club history to win a Silver Slugger. Before Altuve’s first Silver Slugger back in 2014, the last Astro to win the award was Lee back in 2007.
