The Brewers left Tampa Bay on Tuesday night with their chance at a sweep gone, but Jackson Chourio still came away with a piece of postseason history.
Milwaukee dropped Game 4 in the World Series after the Rays broke through against rookie left-hander Shane Drohan in the bottom of the 12th inning. The loss trimmed nothing from the series lead, though, with the Brewers still up 3-1 and Jacob Misiorowski set to start Game 5.
Even in defeat, Chourio kept piling up hits. The Brewers left fielder went 2-for-6 in Game 4 after putting together a 4-for-5 night the day before, and he has now recorded multiple hits in all four World Series games. That gives him 10 hits in the series, which matches the most ever in a four-game World Series stretch in MLB history, a mark previously reached only by Babe Ruth.
The bigger milestone is even more striking. Chourio now has 31 career postseason hits, the most by any player before turning 23.
Most postseason hits before turning 23:
Jackson Chourio: 31 (24 games)
Andruw Jones: 30 (45 games)
Sarah Langs noted the record on October 28, 2026, and the comparison underscores just how quickly Chourio got there. He reached 31 hits in only 24 career postseason games, while Hall of Famer Andruw Jones needed 45 games to get to 30 before age 23.
If Milwaukee finishes off the World Series, Chourio will have a real argument for MVP. He is hitting .500/.500/.600 in the series, and his overall postseason line sits at .291/.310/.436 with two home runs, nine RBI, and three stolen bases.

Brewers Let A Title-Clinching Chance Slip Away In Game 4
A title-clinching chance was there for Milwaukee on Sunday night, and for a while it looked like the Brewers might leave Tropicana Field with the championship wrapped up. Instead, a tense Game 4 stretched deep into extra innings, with the Tampa Bay Rays pulling out a 4-3 comeback win in 12 innings to keep the World Series going and trim Milwaukees series lead to 3-1.
The Brewers had put themselves in position to finish the job, only to watch the game turn in the final inning of the night. What had felt like a closing opportunity became a reminder that nothing comes easily in October, and Milwaukee now heads into the next game still up in the series but with the Rays suddenly alive again.

Brewers Top Prospect Keeps Turning Up Pressure On Milwaukee's Timeline
Jesus Made keeps giving the Brewers something to think about, and the timing hardly could be more interesting for a franchise that has built its recent success on getting younger talent to arrive at the right moment. The 19-year-old finished the 2026 minor league season with a .271 average, 14 homers, 91 RBIs and 37 steals in Double-A, a performance that set a franchise RBI mark and earned Southern League All-Star honors.
Now he is carrying that momentum into the Dominican Professional Baseball League, where he has kept producing early in the winter season. The bigger question for Milwaukee is how quickly the organization wants to move him, especially with Made still having not taken a Triple-A at-bat and the possibility that his path could jump a step before next season even begins.

Brewers Rookie Looked Ready To Clinch It Until Everything Unraveled
For a few tense minutes in Game 4 of the World Series, it looked like Cooper Pratt had delivered the kind of breakthrough swing Milwaukee could build around. The rookie came through in the 12th inning with a go-ahead homer that put the Brewers ahead 3-2, a moment that seemed to tilt a back-and-forth game firmly in their direction.
Instead, the finish turned into a collapse that sent the series to a fifth game. A defensive miscue cracked the door open, and the bullpen that had been so steady through the postseason could not close it, with left-hander Shane Drohan taking the loss after Tampa Bay strung together four straight hits. For Milwaukee, it was the kind of ending that lingers - one that left a rookie's big swing buried under a far messier final inning. [Read more 🡒]
