Jose Altuve was added to the Astros' lineup after the team reversed course on its decision to bench him -- against his wishes -- in an attempt to protect his lead in the AL batting race.

Altuve still wrapped up the batting crown as he went 2 for 4 with a ground-rule double and a run-scoring infield single in the loss to the Mets, ending the season with 225 hits and a .341 average, both best in the majors.
