MILWAUKEE -- Just like he did all season long, the Brewers’ 20-year-old rookie Jackson Chourio did something nobody has done before in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series.

At 20 years, 204 days of age, the outfielder from Maracaibo, Venezuela, became the youngest player in Major League history to tally multiple hits in his postseason debut, and he made them count. Chourio delivered a single and a run scored in Milwaukee’s two-run first inning and a game-tying RBI single -- advancing to second on an E-8 -- in the two-run fourth inning of Tuesday's 8-4 loss to New York.

In the fifth, Chourio found himself in the spotlight as a defender in left field. First for a play he made, then for one he didn’t.

The play he made was sensational, a leaping grab while colliding with the left-field wall that took away a base hit and maybe more from Starling Marte just as the Brewers turned the game over to their bullpen with a 4-3 lead.

The play Chourio didn’t make proved costly. Former Brewer Tyrone Taylor hit a fly ball to left field that Statcast estimated had an 85% catch probability. But it sent Chourio back on his heels into an awkward route, and the baseball ticked off his glove for what was scored a double.

It proved a big miss, because it extended the inning for the Mets to score five runs, all with two outs, for an 8-4 lead while prompting two more pitching changes.
