The Astros had 8 men cross home plate in the second inning, and never looked back. When this ball came into play, Jose Altuve already had hit a single earlier in the game. This ball was the first pitch of the home half of the fifth inning. A 90 MPH sinker. That Altuve crushed 219 feet into left field for a double. This was his 26th double of the season and 230th double of his career. The Astros were unable to get their leadoff double home in this inning.
