Week 5 Hitter:
Jose Altuve– 10/25 H/AB, 9 R, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 4 SB, .400 BA
Altuve was very impressive this week. In his seven games played, Altuve recorded ten hits, including five extra-base hits, 5 RBI, and four stolen bases. Through his play this week, he has made a case for an early season favorite for AL MVP.
Providing a spark at the top of the lineup for the Astros, both of Altuve’s dingers leadoff shots in two straight games. Those were Altuve’s fifth and sixth leadoff home runs of 2016.
