Brewers star Jackson Chourio becomes first player to since Babe Ruth achieve historic World Series feat
Jackson Chourio has matched Babe Ruth’s record of 10 hits through the first four games of a World Series, marking a rare achievement for the 22-year-old Milwaukee Brewers outfielder. The feat highlights Chourio’s outstanding postseason form, although Milwaukee lost Game 4 to Tampa Bay and must now win again to keep its championship bid on track.
Ruth reached 10 hits in the first four games of the 1928 Series, which the Yankees swept; Chourio is 10 for 20 in this Fall Classic. He also became the youngest player since Joe Garagiola in 1946 to collect four hits in a World Series game, and has batted .291 with two home runs and nine runs batted in across 12 postseason games. Tampa Bay won Game 4 by 4-3 in the 12th inning, forcing a fifth game, with the Brewers seeking their first World Series title.
In short
- Chourio has 10 hits through four World Series games, matching Babe Ruth.
- Tampa Bay won Game 4, 4-3, in 12 innings.
- Milwaukee must win Game 5 to keep its title hopes alive.
Explained simply
The World Series is Major League Baseball’s championship, played between the winners of its two leagues. Games are played over several days, and the first team to win four takes the title.
Jackson Chourio is a young outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers, a team still seeking its first World Series title. Babe Ruth was one of baseball’s best-known players; in 1928, he recorded 10 hits across the first four games of the Series.
A hit is when a batter safely reaches base after striking the ball, and a player’s batting average measures how often they get a hit in their turns at bat. Matching an achievement set by Ruth nearly a century ago puts Chourio’s performance in a notable historical context.
