MILWAUKEE -- Lorenzo Cain, who already has a Play of the Week honor to his name, is bidding for another after robbing another St. Louis Cardinal at the center-field wall.

On Opening Day, Cain ended a Brewers' win over the Cardinals by robbing Jose Martinez of a would-be game-tying home run. On Monday night, he leaped to take away another hit from Matt Carpenter, though whether it would have left the yard or stayed in was a matter of debate. Either way, Cain denied the Cardinals third baseman of a hit in the second inning of a 10-7 Brewers win.

Did Carpenter get enough to clear the fence had Cain not intervened?

¡°I don¡¯t think so,¡± said Cain.

Still, it was a great play. And a critical play, considering the Cardinals had a runner aboard and were already working with a 2-0 lead. After Cain¡¯s catch ended the half-inning, the Brewers mounted a six-run rally in the bottom of the frame, capped by the first of Christian Yelich's three home runs.

¡°Tonight¡¯s game had so many things happen, and [the catch] was the first big momentum swing,¡± said Brewers manager Craig Counsell.

Once again, Yelich had the best view from right field of Cain¡¯s defensive magic.

¡°I¡¯m not shocked that he caught it,¡± Yelich said. ¡°That¡¯s what he does. There was really no doubt in my mind he was going to catch that ball when it was off the bat. He¡¯s so good at that play and feeling around that wall. I think that kind of jump-started things for us.¡±
