Do you think Altuve will break out of his mini slump today? Altuve is 0-for-8 in the first two games of the American League Division Series against the Mariners.
Jose Altuve hits a pop fly in the sixth inning of the Astros' Game 2 ALDS win over the Mariners. His hitless slump in the first two games of the ALDS is a first in his seven-year postseason career.and Alex Bregman climbs up postseason leaderboards, the Astros’ leadoff man and main purveyor of clutch playoff hits has been conspicuously absent from the box scores.
It marks the first time in Altuve’s seven-year postseason career that he has gone hitless in the first two games of the ALDS, and the sixth time he has gone hitless in back-to-back games within a playoff series. Altuve did make two stunning defensive plays in back-to-back innings on Thursday. With the Astros ahead 1-0 in the third inning and J.P. Crawford in scoring position via a two-out double, Altuve made a great backhanded stop with a cross-body jump throw on Julio Rodríguez’s ground ball and Gurriel made the pick at first base to get the final out.
