NEW YORK (AP) — Jose Altuve finally got that first one. The Houston Astros’ star second baseman doubled Saturday for his only hit in 28 postseason at-bats this year, ending the longest slump of his stellar career at 0 for 25. He’s arguably the best hitter in baseball for a while and he’s such a special talent,“ Astros designated hitter Trey Mancini said. Altuve has 23 career postseason home runs, which ranks second in big league history behind Manny Ramirez (29). You want to get a hit but if you don’t and you win, the job is done,“ Altuve said.
