Jose Altuve continued his magnificent start to the season, blasting a three-run homer to lead the Astros to a 5-4 victory over the Cardinals on Friday.
Altuve finished the game 2-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and three RBI. Though he's the smallest player in the league, he's packed quite the punch with his bat thus far, hitting .360 with two homers and 13 RBI on the season. He's one of the most exciting young players in the league, and looks poised to make a run at his first All-Star appearance as soon as this year.
