Another striking aspect of this matchup was the presence of young talent. Jackson Chourio, 20, went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI for Milwaukee, while Jackson Merrill, 20, went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base for San Diego.
This season’s Opening Day roster included two of baseball’s youngest players. That alone is impressive, leave alone the fact that Merrill is now hitting.356 and Chourio is hitting.259 despite spending a lot of time in the leadoff position.
The couple also joined a select group in recent baseball history on Monday night, according to Sarah Langs.
