Cuban Yulieski Gurriel continues to extend his legacy in the Major Leagues and, this time, increased his numbers in the postseason.
According to sports journalist Francys Romero, the talented player tied for 11th place all-time in terms of hits in the postseason.
Specifically, Gurriel reached 89 hits in his playoff career, thus tying David Justice.
“Yulieski Gurriel continues to increase his postseason numbers. He tied for 11th all-time with David Justice among hitters with the most hits (89) in the postseason.”Romero said in his publication.
Likewise, the specialist recalled that the statistic becomes even more notable if one takes into account that Yulieski Gurriel debuted in the Majors at the age of 32.
It is worth remembering that Yulieski Gurriel is currently playing in the American League Division Series wearing the uniform of the Kansas City Royals, who left the Baltimore Orioles on the road in the Wildcard series.
In the first game against the New York Yankees, the victory went to those from the Bronx with a score of 6-5, taking the lead in a series that will take the best of five games.
This means that Gurriel still has, in the worst case, two games left to try to continue increasing that number of hits.

The second game between the Yankees and Royals will be played this Monday, and Kansas City will have to win if it does not want to be on the ropes.
In his career with the Houston Astros, the Cuban not only participated in multiple postseasons in a great way, but he also knew what it means to be crowned champion of the most demanding baseball on the planet.
