Brewers' Chourio and Yelich homered consecutively off Hoffman in the ninth inning, propelling their team to victory over the Blue Jays.
In a thrilling game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Milwaukee Brewers clinched victory thanks to back-to-back home runs by Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich.
Chourio, who had been sidelined for 28 games due to a strained right hamstring, made his return to the plate in the ninth inning and delivered a crucial home run, breaking a 1-1 tie. This was Chourio's 18th home run of the season.
Yelich followed suit in the same inning, hitting his 27th home run of the season, securing the win for the Brewers.
On the mound, Zach Gausman pitched a stellar game, allowing only four hits over seven innings and striking out eight batters without walking any. Quinn Priester, pitching for the Brewers, gave up five hits and one unearned run in six innings. Priester has not lost a game since May 13 at Cleveland.
The Blue Jays' offence was led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who drove in the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning.
In the late stages of the game, Aaron Ashby secured the win with one out, while Abner Uribe finished the game for his fourth save in six chances.
Looking ahead, Brandon Woodruff is scheduled to start for the Brewers on Sunday, while Max Scherzer, who has a 3.82 ERA this season, will take the mound for the Blue Jays.
The Brewers, who currently boast the best record in the majors with a record of 85-52, also tied a club record with their 21st win in August.
Notably, Jeff Hoffman, Toronto's closer, has allowed 14 home runs this season, the most by any big league reliever. Myles Straw of Toronto made a home run-saving catch in center field in the first inning.
For the recent game against the Yankees on September 7, 2025, the Blue Jays' starting pitcher was not explicitly mentioned, but the Yankees' starting pitcher was Max Fried. The starting pitcher for the upcoming game against the Brewers on Sunday is yet to be announced.
