Summary
Chourio’s solo shot in Milwaukee’s 5-3 win over Texas gave the 22-year-old his 20th homer and a rare career-opening milestone.
The blast made him the 17th player in MLB history to begin a career with three straight 20-home run seasons, joining names such as Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle and Frank Robinson.
Chourio has homered in three straight games and is batting .281 with an .820 OPS, adding another surge to a Brewers lineup backing an 85-51 club.
Milwaukee has won four straight and leads the NL Central by eight games over the Cubs, with Chourio saying the bigger goal is the franchise’s first World Series title.
