The Brewers' Lorenzo Cain ended Opening Day in Milwaukee with, well, the Catch of the Year (so far).
With the Brew Crew up 5-4 with two outs in the ninth, Cain snagged a would-be home run off the bat of the Cardinals' Jose Martinez to secure the win. Cain and his teammates celebrated appropriately.

Despite the incredible nature of the catch, we really shouldn't be surprised. Cain tied for the MLB outfield lead last season in defensive runs saved (20) and led all center fielders in that category on his way to a total of 6.9 WAR.
Cain had an otherwise so-so day Thursday, going 1-for-4 at the plate, but nobody in Milwaukee will care about that or even remember anything but his catch.
