The Houston Astros may have failed to take a commanding 3-0 lead against the Yankees last night (indeed, they lost 8-1), but Jose Altuve’s defense was sure out in full force.
Check out these two amazing defensive plays made by the Astros shortstop second baseman, including a full-extension dive, stop, and throw and a crazy, out-saving flip to first:
Unbelievable.
Those two plays may not have been enough to help the Astros topple the Yankees, but they sure were fun to watch. As this guy always is:
