And then he was all alone at the top.
After tying Craig Biggio's single-season mark with a double in the fifth inning Tuesday, Astros second baseman Jose Altuve set a new franchise record in his next at-bat, poking a seventh-inning single that gave him 211 hits on the year.
Altuve's hit total, and .342 batting average, are both tops in the majors.
