The Venezuelan second baseman surpassed Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell on the franchise&#8217;s all-time hits list, reaching second place after hitting his 2,315th hit this Wednesday in the 5-3 victory over the Rockies at Coors Field.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You may be interested<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/deportes\/beisbol\/estos-son-los-20-lanzadores-que-han-logrado-3000-ponches-en-grandes-ligas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">:These are the 20 pitchers who have achieved 3,000 strikeouts in Major League Baseball<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nThe historic hit not only broke the tie on the scoreboard, but also drove in two runs that gave the Astros the definitive lead. Altuve attacked reliever Jake Bird&#8217;s first pitch in the sixth inning and hit a solid single to center field. With that hit, he left Bagwell (2,314 hits) behind and was only behind Craig Biggio (3,060), another icon of the organization.\n\n&#8220;It was a very special night,&#8221; Altuve said after the game. &#8220;Jeff is a legend, and being able to be in that conversation is an honor. But this is not just about statistics, it&#8217;s about continuing to help my team win.&#8221;\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">\u00a1Con permiso, se\u00f1or Bagwell! <br><br>Jos\u00e9 Altuve llega a 2.315 hits en su carrera, superando a Jeff Bagwell y ubic\u00e1ndose como el segundo bateador en la historia de los <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Astros?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Astros<\/a> con m\u00e1s imparables. <br><br>Solo tiene por delante a Craig Biggio con 3.060. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/BuiltForThis?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BuiltForThis<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/ElExtrabase?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ElExtrabase<\/a>\u26be\ufe0f\ud83c\uddfb\ud83c\uddea <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2ZQhbrErR8\">pic.twitter.com\/2ZQhbrErR8<\/a><\/p>&mdash; El Extrabase \u26be\ufe0f (@ElExtrabase) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ElExtrabase\/status\/1940598509344116800?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\nFrom Houston, Bagwell, current team advisor, congratulated Altuve: &#8220;Jos\u00e9 is a fundamental part of this franchise&#8217;s success. His numbers speak for themselves, but what I admire most is his work ethic and character. I am happy for him. I know he has an even bigger number in mind: 3,000 hits,&#8221; he told MLB.com.\n\nThe opening pitcher Hunter Brown also shone on the day, throwing six solid innings with eight strikeouts, giving up only two runs for a home run by Mickey Moniak. It was his first win since June 1st and a firm step to keep the Astros in the fight, despite recent injuries to key figures like Jeremy Pe\u00f1a and Yordan \u00c1lvarez.\n\nAltuve, who went 5-2 in the game, continues to demonstrate his relevance and consistency in his 14th season in Major League Baseball. With multiple batting titles, an MVP, a World Series and now second place in club hits, the stellar second baseman continues to write his legacy as one of the greatest in Astros history.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DENVER \u2014 In another memorable night for his brilliant career, Jos\u00e9 Altuve wrote his name in even more golden letters in the history of the Houston Astros.
