Yuli Gurriel Named AL Player of the Week

Yuli Gurriel has been named the AL Player of the Week after exploding at the plate for 4 multi-hit games in a row while also extending a 9 game hitting streak. This stretch included two back to back 3-hit games against the Angels, who Gurriel absolutely feasted on.

He would go 12-for-26, slashing .462/.462/.923 with 3 HR, 3 doubles, and 10 RBI while playing in all six games this week.

Gurriel’s big game came during the first of the series against the Angels where he would hit two of his three home runs this week, including a grand slam in the first inning that set the tone for the series, and drove in a career-high 7 runners.
