Milwaukee Brewers: Jackson Chourio has MLB postseason home run record within reach

Jackson Chourio of the Milwaukee Brewers inches closer to breaking MLB's postseason home run record. In Game One of the National League Divisional Series against the San Diego Padres, Chourio hit a two-run homer to tie the game, and then William Contreras added a solo shot for a 3-2 lead. Chourio, who has already hit five career postseason home runs, now stands just one away from setting the all-time record for postseason homers before reaching the age of 23.

He currently shares the record with Kyle Schwarber and Juan Soto, who have also hit five before turning 23. Chourio, a regular season hero for the Brewers who overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Padres, has hit a home run in each of the three playoff series he has played in. The 23-year-old outfielder's postseason performance comes just months after an historic regular season, where he became one of just three players to have three consecutive 20-20 seasons in his MLB debut.
