Joining Freeman is a great accomplishment, as he's one of the best hitters of the last quarter century. Furthermore, he's also a two-time World Series champion and a former MVP.

Chourio is one of the best young players in the game and is hitting .271 with a .303 on-base percentage. He has 17 home runs and 66 RBIs to go along with 18 stolen bases.

The two teams will play again on Saturday night with first pitch coming at 7:10 p.m. ET. Right-hander Janson Junk will take the ball for Miami while veteran left-hander Jose Quintana pitches for Milwaukee.

Junk is 4-2 with a 3.09 ERA while Quintana, a former All-Star, is 7-3 with a 3.49.
