MLB world reacts to Jackson Chourio's 2-HR game to keep Brewers' season alive

Chourio saved his very best for last, though, namely when the Brewers were trailing 3-2 in the eighth inning. He led off that inning with another game-tying homer, sending a 1-1 Phil Maton delivery into the right field seats.

Milwaukee would go on to win 5-3 to force a winner-take-all Game 3 against the Mets on Thursday. Although it was a two-run pinch-hit homer by Garrett Mitchell later on in the eighth inning that was the decisive blow, most of the headlines belonged to Chourio. The super rookie became just the second player in MLB history to hit two game-tying homers in the same playoff contest (after Babe Ruth in Game 4 of the 1928 World Series).

Take a look at some of the social media reactions to Chourio’s heroics.

Chourio is the youngest player in the majors right now and is so young that the Brewers had to make special arrangements for him when they celebrated their division title. But Chourio almost singlehandedly kept their season alive on Wednesday and continues to produce well beyond his years.
