Venezuelan José Altuve kicked her out of the park against the Arizona D-backs, at Minute Maid Park and became the fifth player in the history of the Houston Astros to accumulate three seasons of at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases.

The second baseman took it out of the throws of right-hander Griffin Canning, a missile that traveled a distance of 391 feet, in the fifth inning.

The Venezuelan equaled Hall of Famers Jeff Bagwell (3, 1996-1999) and Craig Biggio (3, 1995-1998), in addition to Dominican César Cedeño (3, 1972-1974) and Jim Wynn (3, 1965-1970), according to Baseball-Reference.

He is also the third Venezuelan to achieve three or more campaigns of that caliber, behind Bobby Abreu (9, 1999-2010) and Carlos González (4, 2010-2013).

On the other hand, Altuve has 22 cheated pads so far in the campaign, a figure that has not been reached since 2017, just when he established the second 20/20 of his brilliant career., LVBP press review.
