Fox News · 4 hours ago

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio hit his 20th home run of the 2026 season during a 5-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday, placing him among an elite group of players in MLB history. At just 22 years old, he became the 17th player ever to record three consecutive seasons of at least 20 home runs to start a career, joining Hall of Famers such as Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle and Frank Robinson. The achievement underlines Chourio's rapid emergence as one of the league's most dangerous young hitters for a Brewers side currently leading Major League Baseball.

Chourio went 1-for-4 in the game, with the home run marking his third in as many games since the team's series finale against the New York Mets on Thursday. He is batting .281 with an .820 OPS this season, and Milwaukee, at 85-51, holds an eight-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central and is on a four-game winning streak. Chourio, speaking through an interpreter, said he was proud to be mentioned alongside baseball's greats but stressed his focus remains on helping the Brewers win their first World Series title.

  • Becomes 17th player with three straight 20-homer seasons to start career
