The Houston Astros won yet again on Wednesday night, now eight for their last ten and climbing within a game of the best record in the American League. Earning a victory is always nice, but the headline of the night came from one of Houston's most iconic players passing another franchise legend on a very significant list.

Jose Altuve had a couple Hall of Fame moments on Wednesday, while the Rockies lacked any game-changing ones of their own.
