I'm sure there were a bunch of home runs hit on Monday night. It's 2017; there are a bunch of home runs every night. That's why what Jose Altuve is doing is way more fun than the barrage of home runs.

After going 4-for-4 with a walk in a 13-4 thrashing of the Phillies for his second straight four-hit game, Altuve is now hitting .365. He has a 16-game hitting streak that includes 12 multi-hit games, he's hitting .430 on the road and he leads the majors with 18 games of at least three hits.
