Gurriel went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Gurriel is in the midst of his transition to first base after playing left field and third base in Cuba. The Astros admit there are some challenges defensively, but they feel his bat will be sufficient for the position. Through six spring games, he's 6-for-16 with four RBI.
