Houston Astros star Jose Altuve has long been a postseason powerhouse.
Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve, right, jokes with catcher Martin Maldonado during a practice ahead of Game 1 of baseball's American League Championship Series, in Houston, Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022. But Altuve has been a non-factor at the plate since the playoffs began. The Astros hope he finds his stroke when they return to the AL Championship Series for a sixth straight year and host the New York Yankees in Game 1 Wednesday night.
While Altuve would certainly like to do more at the plate, he’s more focused on how the team is doing overall than his individual results. In 17 playoff series over seven years, Altuve has hit .272 with 23 homers and 49 RBIs. He homered three times — twice off Chris Sale — to lead Houston to an 8-2 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the ALDS in 2017.
The Yankees head to Houston with no time to savor their ALDS win after beating Cleveland 5-1 in Game 5 Tuesday in a game that was delayed a day because of rain.
