Houston's Jose Altuve hit two doubles and two triples in last Wednesday's game (May 17) against the Marlins - and did not score a run. He is the first player in baseball history to do so.
Eleven other players have hit two doubles and two triples in the same game before, but all of them scored at least one run.
1st inning: Altuve doubled with one out, driving in a run. Evan Gattis popped out to catcher. Yuli Gurriel struck out swinging.
3rd inning: Altuve tripled with two outs. Gattis was hit by a pitch and Gurriel flied out to left.
5th inning: Altuve tripled with two outs. Gattis popped out to third.
7th inning: Altuve led off, and struck out looking.
9th inning: Altuve doubled with two outs. Gattis struck out swinging.
The first player with two doubles and two triples in the same game was Harry Hooper, who did it for the Red Sox on September 5, 1919. Hooper is also the second player to do it (September 28, 1924 for the White Sox. Heinie Manush also did it twice: May 24, 1929 and July 23, 1932.) Before Altuve, Carl Crawford was the last player to accomplish the feat, on August 2, 2005.
