Astros All-Star passes Carew with RBI double for hit No. 219 of year. HOUSTON -- The hits keep coming for Jose Altuve. As do the milestones for the Astros All-Star second baseman. Altuve's RBI double in a three-run fifth inning of Sunday's 8-3 win over the Mariners was his 219th hit this season. That hit put him in elite company among second baseman in baseball history. With the double off Seattle right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma, Altuve passed Rod Carew for most hits in a season by a second baseman since 1936. Charlie Gehringer of the Tigers had 227 hits that year. Altuve later added an infield single for his 220th hit of the season.
