Watch: Jose Altuve makes mistake on bases near end of Astros' Game 1 loss

Jose Altuve found himself in a similar position to Bryce Harper after the Houston Astros lost Game 1 of the ALCS to the Texas Rangers 2-0 at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, on Sunday night.

Altuve walked to lead off the bottom of the eighth with his Astros trailing 2-0. It was just the start to an inning Houston needed as they were down to their last six outs. Alex Bregman followed by belting a ball to deep left-center, but the ball went to the deeper part of the field, right of the Crawford Boxes.

Evan Carter made the catch in left-center and threw in to second base. Though Altuve had made it back to first safely, the Rangers’ astute middle infielders noticed something else: Altuve didn’t appear to touch second base on his way back to first. They appealed to the umpires, who called out Altuve after a review.
