The Minnesota Twins didn't give their fans much to cheer about in a 5-2 home-opening loss to the Houston Astros on Thursday, but Astros nine-time All-Star Jose Altuve sure did.
Altuve struck out five times in a game for the first time in his decorated career—and Twins fans were delighted, to say the least. After taking a 2-0 lead in the bottom half of the first inning, Minnesota surrendered a pair of runs in the second and fourth innings and trailed for the remainder of the game. So, the fans had to find something to cheer for, and they quickly did so as they watched Altuve inch ever closer to his unfortunate career milestone.
