The Houston Astros are hoping to repeat as World Series champions.
But, they have run into a formidable opponent in the ALDS.
The Minnesota Twins took Game 2 of the series and now the teams head to Minnesota tied 1-1.
Houston will have to win one game on the road to keep their season alive.
One player they continue to count on at the top of their lineup is Jose Altuve.
He has a long history of being an elite hitter and he just reached another impressive mark.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, Altuve recorded his 32nd career multi-hit postseason game.
That passes Manny Ramirez for the third-most all-time.

He has a batting average of .273 in his postseason career.
Altuve is one of the best hitters of his generation.
He has one MVP award and helped lead the Astros to two World Championships.
Many fans used to love him because of his size.
Standing at 5-foot-6, Altuve has proven that size does not matter on a baseball field.
But after their cheating scandal in 2017, the Astros turned from a good story into the villains.
Altuve was right in the center of the scandal and he now gets booed every time he steps up to the plate in opposing ballparks.
It will be interesting to see if the Astros have enough to get back to the Fall Classic.
They still have one of the best lineups in baseball, and Altuve will have to play a big role in their success.
