Yuli Gurriel is clutch. That may not actually be a thing, but it doesn’t matter. The man comes up with big hits for the Houston Astros when they need it most.
2017 World Series, Game 5. Astros down, and seemingly out, with Clayton Kershaw on the mound.
In 2018, Gurriel hit .403 and had 78 RBI with runners in scoring position, both Top 3 marks in the Majors.
Last night, he lined a shot over the Crawford Boxes to give the Astros an uplifting and much-needed walkoff victory in extra innings.
Yuli did it again Saturday night, smacking a ball into the gap on a hobbled foot to send the Astros to their second extra-inning walkoff win against the Seattle Mariners in as many nights at Minute Maid Park, 6-5.
