DENVER (AP) Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has left Wednesday's game against Colorado with right hamstring tightness.

Altuve missed three of the previous four games because of the hamstring but was in the starting lineup against the Rockies.

He batted twice before being pulled in the middle of the third inning. He was replaced by Marwin Gonzalez.

Altuve is batting .287 with 17 stolen bases and 28 RBIs this season.
