Chourio Switching to Brewers’ Leadoff Spot Comes in the Middle of a Slump
Chourio has been in a bit of a slump as of late. In his last two games, he has gone just 1-for-9 and has struck out four times. With this, Chourio is coming off back-to-back shaky games and will be looking to heat back up against the Reds on Saturday.
