HOUSTON — The sting of a blowout loss to the Mariners nonetheless contemporary on their minds, the Astros have been in a position to put aside their frustration for a couple of minutes Saturday night time and provides a correct champagne toast to a franchise legend.
Astros second baseman Jose Altuve stood in entrance of his teammates and spoke some phrases within the clubhouse at Minute Maid Park — which, if you recognize something about Altuve, isn’t one thing he enjoys. He likes to let his bat do his speaking, and a look in the back of his baseball card exhibits the makings of a Hall of Fame profession.
An eight-time All-Star, a six-time Silver Slugger winner, the 2017 American League Most Valuable Player and a two-time World Series champion, Altuve grew to become the third participant in franchise historical past to achieve 2,000 profession hits with a fifth-inning single within the 10-3 loss.
“I know we lost today and not in a good way, but I’m really happy and thankful with my teammates, my family and God,” mentioned Altuve, who went 3-for-5. “Two-thousand is a huge accomplishment.”
Altuve joined Hall of Famers Jeff Bagwell (2,314 hits) and Craig Biggio (3,060) as the one Astros to achieve 2,000, and nobody did it as quick because the 5-foot-6 Venezuelan. Altuve wanted 1,631 video games to achieve the milestone and have become the seventh energetic participant — and first who made his debut in 2011 or later — to achieve 2,000.
“As it was getting close, some guys on the team and family members started talking about 2,000, and you feel a little anxious and nervous about going to home plate and doing it,” Altuve mentioned.
The crowd gave Altuve a standing ovation as he got here off the sphere, and he tipped his helmet moments later and got here out of the dugout for a curtain name. He’s the tenth Venezuelan-born participant to achieve 2,000 hits.
“It means a lot,” Altuve mentioned. “To have my name next to a few other guys from Venezuela is obviously really good. Miguel Cabrera just hit 3,000 a year ago. That means a lot to me.”
“We just had a glass of champagne and kind of broke the ice a little bit after a tough loss,” Astros supervisor Dusty Baker mentioned. “That’s quite an accomplishment. … Hopefully, he can stay healthy and be around for the next 1,000.”
Not so quick, Altuve mentioned when requested about going for 3,000.
“It’s a long way,” the 33-year-old mentioned. “Let’s go one hit at a time.”
Altuve entered Saturday needing two hits for two,000, and a first-inning single put him on the cusp. He struck out within the third inning, however with a crowd of 38,280 on its toes within the fifth, he laced a 2-2 pitch from Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert into the left-field nook. Altuve, similar to Biggio did when he reached 3,000 hits in 2007, tried to stretch the hit to a double and was thrown out at second base.
“That was pretty cool, pretty special,” Biggio mentioned. “I wish he would have been safe, but it’s an incredible accomplishment. Two-thousand hits has only been done three times now [by an Astro], and I’m really happy for him — the path that he’s on, the journey that he’s had.”
That journey started in Venezuela, the place Altuve was famously turned away from a tryout camp as a result of he was deemed too small. He returned the following day and impressed Astros scouts together with his bat-to-ball abilities at 16 years outdated. He signed for $15,000 in 2007 and rose shortly by way of the system, making his debut in 2011.
In addition to having the third-most hits in franchise historical past, Altuve is now third on the membership’s charts in complete bases (3,056), runs scored (1,030) and doubles (392), fourth in extra-base hits (623) and fifth in homers (201). Bagwell, Biggio and Altuve are clearly the three best gamers in franchise historical past.
“He goes out there and plays every day,” Biggio mentioned. “He takes his 600 at-bats, and he’s an amazing player. What’s he got, two or three batting titles? [He has three.] The awards that he has at home are pretty incredible. But he’s a better person than he is a player, and I can’t tell you how happy I am for him.”
Altuve hadn’t but had an opportunity to undergo his cellphone to examine his congratulatory messages, and possibly he wasn’t in a temper after a tricky loss. Plus, one other recreation awaits Sunday. The countdown to three,000 is underway.
