Houston.- The Venezuelan José Altuvenow left gardener of the Houston stars, its legacy continues to increase.
This Friday, during the match between the Houston Astros and the Cincinnati reds, Altuve connected a double in the third entry that marked a new milestone in his career: he reached 700 extrabases in MLB.
The Venezuelan, who debuted in 2011 in the elderly and is considered one of the most consistent batters of his generation, now adds 436 doubles, 31 triples and 233.
A 94mph synder from Nick Martinez, the Venezuelan returned it to the left garden of the Daikin Park, in the short area, but squeezed the race to reach the intermediate and thus reach the round figure before the 36,857 present.
It is just the fifth Venezuelan that the feat achieved, joining Miguel Cabrera (1,155), Bobby Abreu (921), Andrés Galarraga (875) and Maglio Ordóñez (741).
