To say that Yuli Gurriel is having good week behind the plate for the Astros would be a huge understatement. He is having the type of week any professional ballplayer dreams about. A week that he’ll never forget.
He has actually been playing at an unbelievable level for the past two weeks. It all started when Gurriel hit a home run and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in a blowout win over the Yankees. If you’ll remember, that was the game that snapped that seven-game losing streak. Gurriel then followed that up with a 2-for-3 night and another homer in the Astros next game.
