Social media roundup: Astros' Keuchel, Altuve, Hinch have fun at All-Star Game
Two key members of the Houston Astros took part in the All-Star Game on Tuesday night in Cincinnati, and both had pretty memorable experiences.
Though second baseman Jose Altuve had a quiet game individually speaking, he already had a great time by default since he was representing the Astros and his home country of Venezuela.
Lefty Dallas Keuchel, however, shined in the game. Starting for the AL, he tossed two innings of dominant baseball, allowing just one unearned run during that span.
Below, enjoy some social media posts from the past two days' festivities, provided by the Twitter accounts belonging to the Astros, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle, the Astros' mascot Orbit, manager A.J. Hinch and Keuchel himself.

With the All-Star Week festivities behind them, the Astros will now take the next few days off before regrouping and starting the second half on Friday - when they'll begin their quest to reclaim the AL West from the Los Angeles Angels, who took over the top spot last Sunday.
