Altuve Pounds HR #300
Tampa Bay defeated Houston today 9-5 and took some of the joy out of Jose Altuve's 300th career home run.

"I just wanted to get a good swing on the ball all day," Altuve said. "And I did."

Despite the loss, it was a good game for the 37-year-old Astros second baseman. He had 2 hits, scored 1 run and had 2 runs batted in.

The Rays manager said, "You could see he was aggressive up there. The worst thing we did was throw him a strike. It probably would have been better if we threw the ball outside of the strike zone every time he came to the plate because he seemed like he was in a hurry to get it over with."

Altuve's all-time stats include: 2686 hits, 508 doubles, 40 triples, 300 home runs and 1093 RBIs in 2265 games. He is batting .300 with 329 stolen bases and has scored 1413 runs.
