The Milwaukee Brewers will be facing last year’s American League Cy Young Award runner-up when they open the 2021 baseball season this afternoon (April 1st) at American Family Field.
Minnesota Twins starter Kenta Maeda trailed only Cleveland’s Shane Bieber in the competition for the league’s top pitching honor last summer after compiling a 6-1 record and an earned run average of 2.70.
The last time Maeda pitched against Milwaukee he held the Brewers to one hit in eight innings last August.
Brewers ace Brandon Woodruff starts for the home team.
A crowd of about 12,000 will be in the stands with the roof closed.
Coverage will begin at 12:35 PM on 107.9 FM WOMT, and at WOMTRadio.com.
The teams will take Friday off, then complete the three-game series over the weekend.
