Altuve went 1-for-5 with a solo home run during the Astros' 6-3 win over the Nationals on Tuesday.
Analysis:Altuve failed to get on base in each of his first four plate appearances but the fifth time was the charm for the veteran second baseman, who smacked a solo homer to left-center field in the eighth inning. He's gone deep in back-to-back games against Washington and is up to 10 home runs on the season. Altuve has reached base safely in six of his last seven games, going 6-for-27 (.222) with four extra-base hits, five RBI and one steal in that span.
