The batting champion looks like a batting champion again.
Jose Altuve’s career-long on-base streak is up to 28 games, tying the longest on the club since Michael Bourn did the same from 2010-11. The Astros second baseman reached base every game in August, including the last in Monday’s 8-3 win over the Mariners, when he had three hits.
