Christian Yelich collects his fifth hit of the game Saturday against the Padres

Here we go, Brewer fans! Ten games against the other two contenders in the NL Central, starting with the home opener against the Cardinals. Zach Davies gets his first start of the season for Milwaukee (3-0) and faces St. Louis (1-2) Miles Mikolas, making his first major league start since 2014.

Mikolas (aka The Lizard King) is coming off a successful stint in Japan and was a free agent signing by the Cardinals in the off-season. As a Cardinal, will he be limited to baby lizards?
