As many hits as Altuve has this year, he'll still need 50 more to catch Ichiro in 2004.

From here it looks like he's getting some marginal calls.

I thought you would be too busy hanging out with Howard Chen to notice.

Altuve singles up the middle scoring Petit and Grossman. Astros 2-1. 1 out. Bottom of 3rd inning.

Dominguez almost gets an RBI on an infield hit but he is too slow.

Altuve with his 2nd base hit. He's incredible.

If only he were taller he could have made that catch in the first.

Line drive off the left, upper wrist. Crying shame, as he was dealing.

Hit by a come backer. I was watching orbit, so I don't know how bad it was.

I'm an idiot.

Krauss getting the tough throws. Nice rebound after that terrible first inning error.

Damn.  He could have made a big dent into the 20 IP he needed for ERA leaderboard qualification.  6.2 IP is still ok, but 8 IP would have made it almost certain.  He needs 13.1 IP in his presumed 2 last starts to get there.

I couldn't believe it when I looked, but Altuve's actually projected to get to 225 hits this year (17 hits in his last 12 games).  Still, that would put him 37 behind Ichiro's 2004 season.

That's nothin' for a stepper.

It's always nice when a .520 batter actually ups his average.  Altuve came into tonight 13-for-25 (.520) with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs.  Make that 14-for-26 (.538).  His 1.229 OPS went up to 1.254 in such situations.

Should Altuve hit 3rd?

I like him hitting 2nd, but Grossman needs to hit more triples.

Collin McHugh left the game with a contusion on his left forearm.
