The Brewers entered the opening game against the Diamondbacks with some serious momentum after just sweeping their division rival Pittsburgh Pirates. With the Brewers ace on the mound, there was hope that the winning ways would continue. Burnes faced off against Merrill Kelly for Arizona, who are first in the NL West.
Corbin Burnes had a brutal start to the game, allowing a double, single, and walk to start the game, loading the bases for Christian Walker. He took advantage of the runners on base and hit an RBI single, still with the bases loaded and nobody out, Gurriel Jr came to the plate and hit a two-RBI single, putting runners on the corners.
