Altuve takes slim lead in AL batting race into final day

It all comes down to one game for Jose Altuve. Altuve, the Astros’ All-Star second baseman, will try to lock up the team’s first batting title in Sunday’s season finale against the Mets at Citi Field. Altuve enters Sunday with a .340 average, leading Detroit’s Victor Martinez (.337) by a small margin in the American League.
