Lorenzo Cain sent the fans at Miller Park home happy in the most dramatic fashion possible on Opening Day against the St. Louis Cardinals. 

The Milwaukee Brewers All-Star robbed Jose Martinez of a game-tying homer in the top of the ninth to seal a 5-4 win for the defending National League Central champions.

LO CAIN. FOR. THE. WIN. 😱 #OpeningDay https://t.co/2B34gddRLh

Hitting against ace reliever Josh Hader, Martinez did everything in his power to at least keep the Cardinals' hopes alive. 

Unfortunately, Martinez didn't take into consideration that Cain is a human vacuum who gets anything close to him. 

After coming up short in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series last year, the Brewers started their quest to reach the World Series in 2019 on a high note.
