Chourio Homers Twice as Brewers Beat Mets

Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBIs, and four runs as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the New York Mets 8-2 on Thursday night. The Associated Press, carried by ESPN and TSN, called it a two-homer night from the leadoff spot. NBC Sports filled in the sequence. Chourio singled on Sean Manaea's first pitch, scored on Andrew Vaughn's RBI single, then hit a 389-foot two-run shot in the second. He singled to start the fifth, stole second, and scored on a William Contreras groundout. He capped it with a 380-foot two-run homer off Xzavion Curry in the eighth.

ESPN's box score matched that path: a 389-foot homer in the second that scored David Hamilton, and a 380-foot homer in the eighth that scored Cooper Pratt. Chourio's two-out RBI total for the night was four. He also stole a base, his 14th of the year. Milwaukee improved to 83-51. New York fell to 60-74.

How many home runs does Jackson Chourio have?

Nineteen. NBC Sports had him slashing .283/.345/.477 with 19 homers, 54 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases in 447 plate appearances. The AP said Thursday was his third two-homer game this season and the fifth of his career, plus another one in the 2024 playoffs against these same Mets. He is 22. Nights like this are why Milwaukee keeps writing him into the one-hole and letting the lineup run.

Jacob Misiorowski did the other half. ESPN listed him at 14-5 after six innings, two hits, two earned runs, six strikeouts, and two walks. Manaea took the loss at 4-6 after 5 2/3 innings, eight hits, and six earned runs. The Mets scratched across two in the fifth on a Young double and a Morel single. That was the entire home highlight reel. Milwaukee answered with Pratt's sacrifice fly in the sixth and Chourio's second bomb in the eighth.

What the Brewers-Mets result means

Milwaukee is still a National League problem. The rotation already had to improvise this week when Dustin May left a Mets start after a 106 mph liner off his scapula. Thursday was the opposite kind of night. Misiorowski went six. Chourio did damage in four different innings. The Mets, sitting at 60-74, are playing out the string. A leadoff hitter with 19 homers and 14 steals is the search query. Chourio homers twice is the result.

ESPN scored the Mets' fifth-inning runs after a challenge Milwaukee lost. The rest was Brewers baseball: extra-base hits, a stolen base, and a 12-hit night. Fans looking up Brewers vs Mets score can stop at 8-2. Fans looking up Jackson Chourio stats can add two homers and a steal to a season that already looks like a building block, not a fluke.
