Shortstop Willy Adames made an immediate impact in his first appearance at American Family Field since leaving the Milwaukee Brewers, homering on the very first pitch he faced on 22 Aug. 2025. The blast followed a standing ovation from the home crowd that acknowledged his three-season stint with the Brewers. Sports books had listed Adames at +450 to go deep, underscoring the unlikelihood of the moment. The early homer set the tone for the night in a matchup that marked Adames’s return to Milwaukee in a visiting uniform.
