- He had an 11-game multi-hit streak which is tied for 3rd in the history of baseball since 1908:

Pretty incredible considering he had only played in 27 MLB games before the streak began.

After his 11th game he missed almost a month after he hurt his knee and ankle trying to advance to second on a throw on his third hit of the game. His first game back he got a hit but his multi-hit streak came to an end.

- His total hits during the streak were 20 singles, 3 doubles and 3 homers.
- He had 10 total RBI's.
- Closest call to breaking the overall hitting streak were none as he got his first hit by at least the 5th inning every game during the 12-game streak.
- Closest call to breaking his multi-hit streak was against the Twins when he got a single to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning on his 5th plate appearance of the night.
- Here is a link to a video of Gurriel extending his multi-hit streak to 11 games: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/blue-jays-vs-white-sox/2018/07/29/530999#game_state=final,game_tab=videos,game=530999
- His multi-hit streak ended against the Phillies:

    - Here is a link to a video of Asdrubal Cabrera robbing Gurriel of an infield hit in the 1st inning which proved to be the difference in keeping him from extending the multi-hit streak: https://www.mlb.com/gameday/phillies-vs-blue-jays/2018/08/24/531335#game_state=final,game_tab=videos,game=531335
- His multi-hit streak was against some pretty decent pitching too for the most part. The starters for those 11 games were: Mike Foltynewicz, David Price, Rick Porcello, Eduardo Rodriguez, Andrew Cashner, Adalbert Mejia, Jose Berrios, Ervin Santana, Reynaldo Lopez, Lucas Giolito and Carlos Rodon.
- His streak ended against the Phillies:
     - He went 0-3 with a walk.
     - He was 0-3 against Nick Pivetta with two infiield lineouts
     - He was walked in the 8th in his final plate appearance against Seranthony Dominguez
