Unfortunately for the young superstar, the rest of the Brewers lineup could not come through with the clutch hit when needed most, stranding 12 runners on base. Most painfully, the crew had the tying run up to the plate in the top of the sixth and seventh innings. We were able to see Chourio right out of the gate in the top of the first inning.

He watched the first couple of pitches in his at-bat and then on his first swing of the 2026 season, he doubled to left-center field, ultimately being stranded at second base to end the inning. Jackson Chourio just doubled on his first swing of 2026… pic. twitter.
