Watch: Altuve mashes leadoff HR for 2nd straight night

Jose Altuve doesn't waste any time getting down to business.

In only the third pitch of Thursday's game between the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners, the diminutive second baseman absolutely destroyed a Wade Miley fastball, sending it clear over the wall at Minute Maid Park.

After his first-inning heroics just one day prior, Thursday marks Altuve's second consecutive game with a leadoff home run, putting him now at six on the season.
