Jackson Chourio was having a playoff game to remember in the NLDS opener against the Chicago Cubs.
And it was only in the second inning.
The Brewers’ star centerfielder became the first player in MLB history to have three hits in the first two innings of a playoff game.
American Family Field was going wild.
But then the mood, however, would soon change.
After the third hit, which he legged out for an RBI infield single in the second inning, Chourio would leave with right hamstring tightness, the same injury that kept the 21-year-old out for about a month this summer.

The Brewers said Chourio will be evaluated after Game 1 with Game 2 set for Monday night, Oct. 6, at American Family Field.
“It’s scary,” manager Pat Murphy said in an in-game interview with TBS. “We’re worried about it.”
Fans are as well.
