Padres and Brewers meet in the playoffs for the first time. Get NLDS tickets
In 1969, the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers — who were the Seattle Pilots for one season — were founded as MLB expansion teams.Now, 58 short years later, the perennial National League contenders are meeting in the postseason for the first time.On Saturday, Oct.3, the best-of-five NLDS will get underway at Milwaukee’s American Family Field with the Brewers’ ace and Cy Young favorite Jacob Misiorowski (16-5, 1.80 ERA) on the hill.Following a two-game stint in the Cream City, the series will move to SoCal for a pair of contests at San Diego’s PETCO Park.
They’re slated to take place:Game 3Tuesday, Oct.6Game 4Wednesday, Oct.
