Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and three runs scored Tuesday against Boston.
Gurriel closed a nine-run second inning for the Astros with his third homer of the season. Though his power output has been modest to begin the campaign, Gurriel has hit all three of his home runs in his last five starts, also chipping in seven RBI and six runs scored while hitting .500. That has improved his line to .248/.287/.430 across 129 plate appearances.
