Chourio Will Be Looking to Have a Response Game
After going 0-for-4 in Milwaukee’s most recent game, Chourio will be looking to put together a solid bounce-back performance for them against Cincinnati.

Chourio has appeared in 106 games so far this season with the Brewers, where he has 21 home runs, 24 doubles, 58 RBI, and a .285 batting average. With numbers like these, he has been great for Milwaukee this campaign, so it would not be shocking whatsoever if he has a big game for them against the Reds.
