Jackson Chourio kept rewriting the script on Tuesday night, and for one more night, the Milwaukee Brewers had their 22-year-old spark plug at the center of it all.
In Game 4 of the World Series against the Tampa Bay Rays, Chourio delivered again in the top of the 12th with Milwaukee holding a 3-2 lead, lining a two-out double off Rays reliever Ian Seymour. It was his second hit of the night, and it pushed his series total to 10 hits through the first four games.
That number matters because it places him beside Babe Ruth. MLB pointed out the milestone with a post featuring Chourio alongside the Yankee legend, noting that his 10th hit of the World Series tied Ruth’s 1928 mark for the most through the first four games of a Fall Classic.
Chourio finished Game 4 going 2-for-6 with a double, continuing a blistering World Series stretch in which he has posted multiple hits in every game of the series. Through four games, he is 10-for-20 and has given Milwaukee a steady presence at the top of the lineup.
The record came on the heels of a huge Game 3, when Chourio went 4-for-5 and helped the Brewers get within one win of their first World Series title.
But the night ended badly for Milwaukee. Tampa Bay answered with two runs in the bottom of the 12th to win 4-3, avoid elimination, and trim the Brewers’ series lead to 3-1.
Milwaukee is back in the World Series for the first time since 1982, while the Rays are still chasing the first championship in franchise history. The Brewers will get another shot to close it out in Game 5 on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field.

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 🡒]
