Second baseman Jose Altuve (tight left quadriceps) left the game in the seventh inning and was replaced by Jake Elmore.Altuve felt a pull while running the bases in the first.Porter already planned to rest his All-Star for the series finale Sunday, so Altuve should get more than two days’ worth of rest before the Astros open a three-game set Tuesday at Baltimore.“It’s just a mild quad. It’s one of those things where he could’ve finished the game,” Porter said.
