Emotional Departure: As brilliant star player for the Milwaukee Brewers waves goodbye and announces his contract termination with severe allegations, tears well up across the room as he announced his…….Read more
After suffering a defeat at the hands of the New York Mets in the wild card stage of the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers were unable to salvage their season on Thursday night.
Due to the fact that they were victorious in the National League Central before losing in the playoffs, the Brewers will have a lengthy offseason ahead of them. Considering that the Brewers were able to take a 2-0 lead into the ninth inning but were unable to maintain it, this defeat will be extra devastating for them.
Both the reserve pitcher Jake Bauers and the outfielder Sal Frelick hit home runs for the Brewers during the game, which they ultimately lost. For the game, they had a total of seven hits. Devin Williams, the closer, was the one who ended up losing the game since he allowed all four runs to be scored in the ninth inning.
Despite the fact that the season is now ended, it is important to call attention to the fact that Brewers rookie Jackson Chourio continued to make history right up until the very end.
Sarah Langs of MLB.com has stated that:
Jackson Chourio, who is 20 years and 206 days old, holds the record for being the youngest player in the history of the postseason to record a leadoff hit in consecutive postseason games.
Rennie Stennett, who was 21 years old and 186 days old when he played in his first two postseason games, was the previous youngest player.
Chourio, who is only 20 years old, had a night in which he stole a base and went one for three at the plate. Additionally, according to Langs, he is the third-youngest player in the history of the postseason to ever steal a base.
For the season, Chourio had a batting average of.275, making him the No. 2 prospect in baseball heading into the year. In addition to that, he stolen 22 bags, hit 21 home runs, and drove in 79 runs. Chourio will be in the running for the National League Rookie of the Year Award, despite the fact that two other players, Jackson Merrill of the Padres and Paul Skenes of the Pirates, are likely to have an advantage.
