Jackson Chourio homers twice as Brewers crush Mets

Player Stats

Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with a pair of homers, four RBI four runs scored and a stolen base as the Brewers crushed the Mets 8-2 on Thursday evening.

Chourio led off the game by lining the first pitch Sean Manaea threw for a leadoff single. He then raced around to score the game’s first run on an RBI single by Andrew Vaughn. The 22-year-old outfielder then clubbed a 389-foot (104.2-mph EV) two-run shot on a first-pitch fastball in the second that extended the Brewers’ lead to 4-0. He also started the fifth inning with a single, swiped second base and scored on a ground out off the bat of William Contreras. Chourio finished his glorious night with a 380-foot (102.8-mph EV) two-run shot off of Xzavion Curry in the eighth that capped off the scoring in the game. He’s now slashing a healthy .283/.345/.477 with 19 homers, 54 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 447 plate appearances on the year.

Jackson Chourio went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Rangers on Saturday.

Chourio’s home run was his 20th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Cal Quantrill in the first inning. Chourio has found his power stroke in August with seven home runs and 14 RBI in 26 games this month. He’s hitting .281 with an .820 OPS and 56 RBI this year.

Jackson Chourio is out of the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Mets.

It appears to be a routine day off for Chourio, who hasn’t taken a seat since last month’s All-Star break. It’ll be Sal Frelick taking over in left field for his first action since coming off the injured list.

Jackson Chourio singled, walked and stole a base Thursday against the Mariners.

It could have been a bigger day, but Chourio just missed on flyouts of 388 and 376 feet. He’s still gone 8-for-17 with two steals and five runs scored in his last four games.

Jackson Chourio had three hits, including two doubles, and three runs scored Sunday against the Dodgers.

The second double should have been an out at Miller Park, as it went off Kyle Tucker’s glove at the wall in right. However, it also would have been a homer in 23 ballparks, according to Statcast. Chourio snapped out of a little 2-for-19 skid today. It’s the third time this year that he’s scored three runs in a game.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters that Jackson Chourio is currently dealing with a sore thumb.

Murphy misspoke Tuesday when he told reporters that it was Brice Turang that was dealing with thumb soreness. The 22-year-old outfielder is in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Padres, but fantasy managers should pay close attention to the situation.

Jackson Chourio went 1-for-4 with a homer and a walk on Friday in the Brewers’ 8-6 loss to the Twins.

Chourio blasted a solo homer off Twins starter Zebby Matthews in the bottom of the first inning to give the Brewers an early 1-0 lead. It was the 16th homer of the season for Chourio and his third in his last four games. He’s off to a blistering start this month, slashing .320/.433/.720 with four extra-base hits.

Jackson Chourio homered and walked Thursday in the Brewers’ 5-2 takedown of the Pirates.

Chourio hit a 388-foot homer just over the wall in right center in the first. It would have been a homer in nine ballparks, according to Statcast. Four innings later, he hit a ball 395 feet to a similar area, but just a little too far to the left of where the wall juts in, resulting in a long flyout. Both were impressive shots, though. After a down month of July in which he homered only once, Chourio is 7-for-21 with two homers and four walks to open August.

Jackson Chourio went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in the Brewers’ 4-2 win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

Chourio tied the game 1-1 with a solo homer off Jared Jones. He got Jones again later with an RBI single up the middle to extend the Brewers’ cushion to 3-1 on the season. It’s the first homer of August for Chourio, and just the second since the start of July for the uber-talented 22-year-old. It would be more surprising than not if the balls don’t start traveling over the fence for Chourio over the final two months.

Jackson Chourio is out of the lineup for the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Pirates.

Chourio takes a seat after going just 3-for-21 during a five-game series against the division-rival Cardinals earlier this week. The 22-year-old franchise cornerstone will get a bit of a mental reset break in the front-end of the twin bill and figures to return for Saturday’s evening showdown at PNC Park. It’ll be rookie Luis Lara taking over in left field with Garrett Mitchell hitting second in the opening contest.

Jackson Chourio is not in Milwaukee’s starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Pirates.

It appears to just be a routine day off. Luis Lara is playing left field in Chourio’s absence on Friday, as he’s now spelled in center field, right field, and now left field in three of the last four games. It’s plausible Lara is going to be a governor on any of the other Brewers outfielders seeing full-time action, especially with their sizable lead in the NL Central.

Colton Cowser knocked in the go-ahead run in the seventh and took away a two-run homer in the ninth as the Orioles edged the Rockies 2-1 on Monday.

The Rockies should have had an inning-ending double play on Cowser’s grounder to second in the seventh, but Connor Norby did an underhand flip from a mile away and Cowser, thanks to an overturned call, ended up beating out the relay, allowing the go-ahead run to score. Cowser, though, still had more in store. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Jake McCarthy crushed a ball to center, only for Cowser to make an outstanding jumping catch while crashing into the wall, denying what would have been a two-run walkoff homer and giving the Orioles a 2-1 victory. It brought the Orioles, now 69-69, to .500 for the first time since they were 15-15 on Apr. 30.

Cade Povich yielded one run in five innings Monday versus the Rockies.

Povich did solid work in limiting the Rockies to one double and four singles in his 87-pitch outing. The Orioles aren’t committed to sticking with a six-man rotation, so Povich might return to Triple-A after this. He’ll still likely play some sort of role in September, though.

Andrew Kittredge picked up his ninth save with a scoreless ninth Monday against the Rockies.

This ought to have been a blown save and a loss for Kittredge, but Colton Cowser saved him by robbing a two-run homer to end the game. It’s Kittredge’s fifth save of August, but he still might find himself taking a back seat in September with Félix Bautista and maybe Ryan Helsley due back.

Tanner Gordon held the Orioles to one run over five innings in his start Monday.

Gordon’s reward for being the Rockies’ second least bad starting pitcher last year was a mid-March demotion to Triple-A this spring. He’s mostly been not totally awful again since getting his first start on May 25 last year, and it finally earned him first win last week against the Nationals. There’s no real upside here, but his 5.18 ERA is the best of any Rockies pitcher to start more than a few games this year. He’ll likely face the Cardinals on Sunday.

Aaron Nola pitched five innings of one-run ball in the Phillies’ 2-1 win over the D-backs on Monday.

The scoring was finished in the third inning in this one, allowing Nola to get the victory in a game in which he recorded just 15 outs, He’s yielded exactly one run in four of his last seven starts and a total of 11 runs during the span, which has lowered his ERA from 5.82 to 4.93. He’s a pretty reasonable mixed-league option right now, though a matchup against the Braves on Sunday isn’t quite ideal.

Jhoan Duran protected a one-run lead in the ninth Monday against the D-backs.

Duran allowed a couple of soft singles, but he then got Gabriel Moreno to ground out to end the 2-1 game. It’s his 29th save. He’s thrown 32 pitches in the three days since he missed Saturday’s game with a stomach issue, so it’s possible he’ll be down Tuesday.

Brandon Pfaadt lost to the Phillies after pitching six innings of two-run ball on Monday.

Pfaadt, who struck out just one, allowed two runs or fewer for the 10th time in 12 starts since rejoining Arizona’s rotation, but since there was little run support to be had tonight, he took his first loss since way back on Apr. 11. He definitely hasn’t been as impressive recently as he was in his first six weeks back in the majors, so those in daily leagues might have better options than to start him in Houston on Sunday.

Brandon Marsh went 0-for-4 against the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Since taking part in his first All-Star Game, Marsh has hit .195/.265/.263 in 40 games, dropping his OPS from .829 to .744. He’s still a solid enough player who will probably rebound to post decent numbers in September, but for those who thought he took step forward at age 28... nope.

Vaughn Grissom went 3-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI in the Angels’ 10-1 rout of the Yankees on Monday.

Grissom’s last hit was a 391-foot double to left that would have been a homer in 26 ballparks. In Angel Stadium, it really ought to have been caught, but Cody Bellinger just didn’t get a good jump on it. Grissom’s .249/.311/.389 line isn’t especially impressive, and his future as a long-term regular is far from secure. Still, his approach is pretty good, and at age 25, he could get a little stronger. He should be close to clinching a spot on the 2027 Angels, even if he might not deserve to be penciled into the starting lineup.

Walbert Ureña fanned eight and held the Yankees to one run over seven innings in a victory Monday.

Ureña’s command still comes and goes, but it wasn’t an issue tonight. He walked none and allowed just one extra-base hit — a Spencer Jones homer — to the 25 Yankees he faced tonight. The victory evened his record at 9-9 to go along with a 2.85 ERA. He’d be a Rookie of the Year candidate in many seasons, but he’s behind Parker Messick and a couple of bats in this year’s AL class. He’ll likely face the Pirates on Sunday.
