–The reigning NL MVP Christian Yelich blasted a three-run home run, and Lorenzo Cain came up with a game-saving catch as the Brewers downed the Cardinals 5-4 at Miller Park on Opening Day.

With two outs in the ninth, Jose Martinez hit a long fly ball to right center field – but Lorenzo Cain said – Not Today – making a leaping catch at the wall to rob Martinez of the potential game-tying home run and seal the victory.
