Fast Start Propels Brewers to 9-3 Victory over Cubs in NLDS Opener
Jackson Chourio became the first MLB player with three hits in the first two innings of a playoff game before exiting with right hamstring tightness, raising concerns for Brewers' Game 2.
- On Oct. 4, Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio exited National League Division Series Game 1 at American Family Field in the second inning with right hamstring tightness after three hits.
- Earlier this season, Chourio strained that same right hamstring on July 29 and missed most of August after going on the injured list Aug. 1, returning Aug. 30.
- Chourio energized the offense by doubling to open the six-run first and capped the inning with a two-run single, driving in three runs within two innings.
- The Brewers' 9-3 win left them up 1-0 in the series, but Chourio's status for Monday's Game 2 is uncertain and Isaac Collins replaced him in left field.
- His.571 playoff batting since last season and the Brewers' 97-65 record frame the series stakes, with the 21-year-old's.270 average, 21 homers, and 78 RBIs underscoring his value.
