The Astros are on a blistering pace to start the 2015 season, setting a franchise-record 18-7 through the first 25 game of the season. Jose Altuve has been a interracial part of that impressive of that record and Major League Baseball rewarded him as such. Altuve has been named A.L. Co-Player of the Week with Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick

The awards are pilling up for the 2014 A.L. Silver Slugger Award winner and 2014 batting champion. Altuve hit .467 (14x30) with seven runs, five doubles, one home run, eight RBI, two stolen bases, and a 1.233 OPS. He hit safely in six of the seven games during the week of April 27-May 3, including five multi-hit games.

Altuve recently had a 11-game hitting streak from April 21 - May 2, which included nine game consecutive games with multiple hits.

On the other side of the coin, Reddick batted .478 (11x23) with three home runs, a double, 12 RBI, and the three walks.
