Altuve’s 4 Hits, 4 Runs Lead Astros Over Angels 10-4

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) _ Jose Altuve went 4 for 5 and scored four runs to help
the Houston Astros beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-4 on Wednesday and complete
the sweep of the three-game series.

It was the second time Houston has swept Los Angeles in the last two weeks. The
Astros finished the six games with 37 runs. It was also Houston’s eighth
straight win over their AL West rivals, extending the longest winning streak
against Los Angeles in franchise history.

Houston has gone 35-20 since May 1, the third-best mark in the AL in that span.

The Angels, who left 12 men on base, finished the homestand 1-6 and went 8-18
over the month of June. The Angels are a season-high 15 games under .500
(32-47). It’s the fewest wins the Angels have recorded in June since 1980.

Altuve, who extended his career-high on-base streak to 32 games, was a home run
shy of the cycle and finished the series 8 for 14 with two RBIs and six runs.
