The Milwaukee Brewers will play with the American Family Field roof open for Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. This decision comes after a contentious finish in Game 1, where a potential go-ahead home run by Ty France was thwarted when it hit a roof cable, leading to an out in the ninth inning.

During Game 1, the roof was closed, and France’s ball struck the cable in fair territory, resulting in Jackson Chourio making the catch for the second out with the tying run on base. The Padres reviewed the play, which confirmed it was a live ball, and the next batter, Jackson Merrill, lined out, sealing a 3-2 victory for the Brewers.

Padres manager Craig Stammen expressed his disappointment, stating, "Unfortunately a bad break for us. Looked like it was a possible home run. Just didn't go our way ... We should be able to bounce back just fine from it."

In postseason games, all weather and roof decisions are made by the commissioner’s office, in consultation with the home team and umpire crew. Typically, the league opts for caution, closing roofs if there's even a slight chance of weather disruptions.

Game 2 promises to be a beautiful day for baseball in Milwaukee, with temperatures in the upper 60s and a light breeze, a key factor in the decision to keep the roof open, contrasting with the low 60s of Game 1.
