American Family Field opens its doors to fans for the first time this season as the Brewers start a four-game set against the Cardinals on Thursday. The Brewers come back to Milwaukee with a .500 record, winning two out of three against the Orioles their last time out. Meanwhile, the Cardinals hit the road for the first time, entering the series with a 3-1 record. Last season, the Cardinals won the season series 11-8.
The Brewers are leaning into the fact this year’s home opener also falls on Milwaukee Day. The celebration of “414 Day” includes a 4:14 PM first pitch, with on-field festivities starting a little before 4:00 PM.
