José Altuve went on a wild home run streak on Tuesday night.
Altuve hit a home run in the sixth and ninth inning of the Astros’ 13-6 win over the Rangers on Monday night. His home runs in that game followed home runs from Mauricio Dubón both times, who was batting last in their lineup.
Dubón hit an RBI double in the seventh for Houston on Tuesday night, and then both Maldonado and Yordan Álvarez each hit two-run home runs to close the inning and put the Astros up 14-1. They finished the night with 18 hits as a team and have had 11 home runs in two days. Framber Valdez had four strikeouts and allowed six hits in his seven innings on the mound for Houston.
Altuve entered the night batting .316 with 36 RBI. He now has 15 home runs this season, his 13th in Houston. The Astros have now won seven of their last 10 games, with the only losses coming in a three-game sweep by the New York Yankees. They hold a 79-61 record, which moved them ahead of the Seattle Mariners and gave them their first lead of the season in the AL West. The Rangers entered Tuesday night just a game back from the Astros in the division.
