The Milwaukee Brewers left fielder took the first pitch of Game 3 from Blake Snell over the right-field wall for a leadoff home run to take an early lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Chourio is just the second hitter since 2008 to homer on the first pitch of a post-season game, joining the Toronto Blue Jays utility man.
Schneider did so in Game 5 of the 2025 World Series, somehow, also off of Snell.
Chourio’s homer is also the first long ball Snell has given up in 2026 in both the regular and post-season.
The Brewers are looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead over the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series.
