Jose Altuve does serious bat flip after Game 7 home run

October 21, 2017

Jose Altuve came up big once again for his Houston Astros, and he did one heck of a bat flip to celebrate.

The Houston second baseman went opposite field on a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning of Game 7 of the ALCS on Saturday night to put his team up 2-0. The homer marked Altuve’s second of the series.

He also decided to take his bat for an extra long ride up the first base line before doing a huge bat flip.

Aaron Judge had previously robbed the Astros of a home run when he leaped up to snag one away from Yuli Gurriel. This one was out of his reach.
