The Aporia · Roof open for Game 2 of Brewers-Padres NLDS matchup, a day after it was struck by Ty France ball

On Sunday, American Family Field's roof remained open for Game 2 of the NLDS between the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres despite a ball hitting the roof in the previous game. The stadium had sunny conditions at 68 degrees during game time. In the ninth inning, France hit a drive that initially seemed like it would go out but instead struck a cable on the roof before being caught by Chourio for the final out of the Brewers' 3-2 win. This was unusual as manager Pat Murphy had never witnessed such an incident in eleven years with the team.

Story summary

On Sunday, Major League Baseball opened American Family Field's roof for Game 2 of the NLDS between the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres, despite it being struck by a ball hit by Ty France the previous day. The game took place on a sunny afternoon with temperatures at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. During the ninth inning, France hit another drive that initially seemed like it could go over the left-field wall but instead hit a cable on the roof and fell into Brewers left fielder Jackson Chourio's glove on the warning track, ending the play. Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy noted this was an unprecedented occurrence during his 11 years with the team. Earlier in 2008, before Murphy’s tenure, a pop fly had hit the roof in another playoff game, but this instance marks a significant moment as it directly affected gameplay.
