Altuve Slugs Way into MLB History as Astros Down Rangers 8-4

HOUSTON (AP) — José Altuve homered twice and made major league history by hitting a leadoff homer one game after belting a walk-off grand slam to lead the Houston Astros to an 8-4 win over the Texas Rangers. Altuve, whose grand slam in the 10th inning Tuesday night lifted the Astros to a 6-3 victory, became the first player to launch a leadoff homer in the game after hitting a walk-off grand slam, according to STATS. Astros rookie Chas McCormick also hit two home runs for his first game with multiple homers on a night when Houston went deep a season-high six times.
