Chourio Powers Brewers to 17-2 Win Over Rockies, Securing First Series Victory at Coors Field Since 2018

On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Colorado Rockies 17-2 at Coors Field in Denver. Jackson Chourio led the offensive charge, driving in five runs with a home run and a double. This victory marked the Brewers' first series win at Coors Field since 2018, as they secured the first two games of the series. 

Brewers shortstop Brice Turang extended his hitting streak to 12 games by recording two singles, moving within one game of tying the franchise record for consecutive games with a hit to start a season, set by Dickie Thon in 1993. 

The Rockies' struggles continued, with starting pitcher Antonio Senzatela (0-2) allowing nine runs (eight earned) over 4 1/3 innings. Reliever Seth Halvorsen's ninth inning was particularly challenging, as he committed an error that led to two runs and then surrendered a two-run homer to Christian Yelich. Defensively, Gold Glove winners Brenton Doyle and Ezequiel Tovar each committed errors, contributing to the team's woes. 

On a somber note, the Rockies held a moment of silence before the game in honor of former major league pitcher Octavio Dotel and former utility player Tony Blanco, who tragically lost their lives in a nightclub roof collapse in the Dominican Republic. 

Looking ahead, the Brewers will send right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester to the mound for his debut after acquiring him from Boston. The Rockies will counter with Ryan Feltner (0-0, 3.60 ERA) in the series finale on Thursday.
