Brewers Take NLDS Opener as Chourio Exits With Right Hamstring Tightness

The team awaits MRI results to gauge his Game 2 availability following a scare to the same hamstring that sidelined him in August.

Overview

  • Milwaukee beat the Cubs 9-3 after scoring nine runs in the first two innings, with Jackson Chourio going 3-for-3 with three RBIs before leaving in the second.
  • The Brewers called the injury right hamstring tightness, the same leg Chourio strained on July 29 that cost him about a month.
  • Manager Pat Murphy termed the situation “scary” and said Chourio underwent an MRI after the game.
  • Chourio told reporters he feels physically good and ready to keep competing as the club waits on test results.
  • Isaac Collins entered as a pinch-runner and stayed in left field, and Chourio’s status for Monday’s Game 2 remains unclear.
