MILWAUKEE 5, ST. LOUIS 4: A spectacular catch by Lorenzo Cain at the left field fence robbed Jose Martinez of a game-tying home run as the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Opening Day at Miller Park.
All nine runs scored courtesy of home runs, starting with a two-run shot in the second from Kolten Wong, followed by a homer by Harrison Bader as the Cardinals took a 3-0 lead. But the Brewers got back to within 3-1 on a solo shot in the bottom of the inning by Mike Moustakas, then took the lead in the third on Christian Yelich’s three-run shot.
Milwaukee pitcher Jhouylis Chacin hit what proved to be the game-winner in the fifth, becoming the Brewers’ first-ever pitcher to hit an Opening Day homer. Wong homered in the seventh to set up Cain’s heroics.
Paul Goldschmidt, making his St. Louis debut, went hitless in three at-bats with a walk, while Chacin struck out seven in getting the win for Milwaukee.
The Cardinals and Brewers meet again on Friday night in a 7:10 p.m. start.
