Milwaukee – In Game 4 of the 2026 World Series, Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio etched his name alongside baseball legend Babe Ruth by notching his tenth hit through the first four games of the Fall Classic. The achievement ties the 98‑year‑old record set by Ruth in 1928.
How the record‑tying hit unfolded
Playing at home in front of a raucous crowd at American Family Field, Chourio delivered a line‑drive single in the seventh inning that pushed his World Series total to ten. MLB confirmed the milestone in a post on X, noting, “Chourio’s 10th hit this #WorldSeries ties Babe Ruth (1928) for most through the first four games of a Fall Classic.”
