The Houston Astros lost again versus a good team in the St. Louis Cardinals, losing 8-5. There were a few bright spots for the Stros. Alex Bregman got his first MLB home run, and Jose Altuve reached 1,000 hits in only his sixth season if baseball. While in the grand scheme of things, 1,000 hits will not get him into the Hall of Fame someday. However, how he got the 1,000th hit might help.
Altuve is now the fastest Astros player to reach 1,000 hits since Cesar Cedeno record-setting accomplishment. Cedeno accomplished that feat after playing 889 games in his MLB career.
