HOUSTON – Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve delivered big for a boy battling cancer after he hit a homerun during the game against the Seattle Mariners Thursday night.
Before the game, Altuve met Dylan Tindall, a 10-year-old boy who is battling terminal cancer. Altuve gave him a bat that he signed, but Dylan had a request for Altuve - hit a homerun.
