After spending extended time on the IL, Altuve is back with the big league club and doing what he does best: punishing opposing pitchers.

Yankees veteran pitcher J.A. Happ has had his struggles this season, as the 36-year-old has posted a 4.59 ERA and just allowed his 18th home run of the season with that solo shot from Altuve.
