Brewers center fielder Jackson Chourio hits a leadoff home run on the first pitch of NLCS Game 3 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Facing Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell, Chourio takes a 97.6 mph four-seam fastball and sends it to right-center field, giving Milwaukee an early 1–0 lead.
Multiple outlets describe the shot as an immediate swing in momentum for the game, with coverage focusing on how quickly it happens and its impact on the home crowd. While some reports emphasize the “first-pitch” and “leadoff” aspects, others highlight the speed of Snell’s offering and the distance/placement of the drive. Across coverage, the core event is consistent: Chourio starts the game by capitalizing on Snell’s first pitch and turning it into a home run at Dodger Stadium.
