The Brewers went out of their way to make the Marlins feel at home during their weekend series in Milwaukee.
Due to recovery efforts around South Florida as a result of Hurricane Irma, the Marlins will be playing their series against the Brewers at Miller Park instead of Marlins Park. The Marlins will be considered the “home” team for the series and bat in the bottom half of innings.
The Brewers took extra steps to help make the Marlins feel at home by decorating their stadium with palm trees, flamingos, fish, and seashells.
As we prepare for tonight's game, our thoughts are with everyone in Florida & we wish them all the best for a quick recovery. #MILatMIA pic.twitter.com/naaJxiODSx

The Rays were also forced to temporarily vacate as a result of the storm. They played their series against the Yankees earlier this week at Citi Field in New York, home of the Mets. The Marlins will return to their real home for their series against the Mets that begins on Monday.
