Sometimes, you just can’t wait around. Just ask Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio, who was 0-for-10 over the first two games of Milwaukee’s weekend series against the Rockies at Coors Field. Prior to Sunday’s 12-4 win over Colorado to complete the club’s first sweep in Denver since June 20-22, 2014, Brewers manager Pat Murphy was jokingly giving Chourio a hard time about not having a hit so far in the series at the hitter-friendly venue. Chourio replied that he was going to swing at the first pitch he saw on Sunday. “I told everyone,” Chourio said with a big smile. Chourio made good on his promise. In fact, he had three hits in the contest -- a single to open the game and a pair of doubles -- all on the first pitch of each plate appearance. The early-count aggression was a theme not just for Chourio, who has more of a tendency to swing early than many of his teammates, but the entire lineup. The Brewers entered the series ranked 29th in the Majors in swing percentage on the first pitch of a plate appearance (25.6%). But they swung early and often on Sunday. It paid major dividends, particularly in a seven-run sixth inning that put the game out of reach and helped this year’s club become the fastest in franchise history to reach 40 wins in a season (63 games). The big sixth inning opened with a William Contreras single. Then Andrew Vaughn lined an RBI triple to right-center. That was followed by a two-run homer on the first pitch by Gary Sánchez. Garrett Mitchell followed with a double, Luis Rengifo walked and Blake Perkins singled with a bunt to load the bases.
