Jose Altuve now sits alone in fourth place for total hits in playoff games. Against the Twins, his five hits in the series moved him past the likes of Jorge Posada. If by chance Altuve notches ten more hits this postseason, he will tie Manny Ramírez for third on the all-time list.

With Altuve’s homer in game one of the ALDS against the Twins, the second baseman moves into eighth place all-time with 50 career postseason RBIs. And of all players—he is neck and neck with Alex Bregman, whose 49 RBIs also ranks in the top-ten in MLB postseason history.
