Chourio collects three hits, steals two bases
Jackson Chourio went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two stolen bases on Wednesday against the Braves. Chourio seems to officially be the Brewers’ lead-off hitter when they face a left-handed pitcher as Brice Turang heads to the bench. Conveniently, they’ve faced four lefties in their past six games and Chourio has enjoyed a nice spell atop the order. Overall, he’s finally begun to showcase the player he may become with a .347/.388/.537 slash line across his last 30 games.
Riley hits home run, double
Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a home run, double, two runs scored, three RBI, and a walk on Wednesday against the Brewers. Riley punished the baseball in this one with a 113.5 MPH double and 110.0 MPH homer. He’s scalding hot at the moment with seven home runs and a .920 OPS over his last 30 games, but this current iteration of the Braves’ lineup is so top heavy as they’ve been ravaged by injuries.
