Brewers Near Title as Eagles Lose Fifth Straight

Yesterday in Sports recaps a huge Monday across the World Series, WNBA Finals, NFL, NBA, NHL and soccer, beginning with Milwaukee moving within one victory of the first World Series championship in franchise history.

Chris Horwedel breaks down the Brewers’ 10-1 destruction of Tampa Bay in Game 3, highlighted by Jackson Chourio’s four-hit night, an historic eight-run fifth inning and another dominant postseason performance from Milwaukee. The Brewers now lead the World Series 3-0 and have four opportunities to finish the job.

The Golden State Valkyries are also one win from a championship, taking a 3-2 WNBA Finals lead over Atlanta behind a suffocating defensive performance. Meanwhile, Philadelphia’s NFL season continues to unravel as Dallas beats the Eagles 38-21, extending their losing streak to five games despite Tanner McKee taking over for the injured Jalen Hurts.

Around the NBA, Anthony Edwards scores 47 in Minnesota’s first loss, Stephen Curry delivers a perfect shooting night and Houston and Memphis remain unbeaten. Oklahoma City also receives devastating injury news, with Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace both requiring surgery and potentially facing season-ending absences. The NHL features rookie Michal Postava winning his first start against Edmonton, while the Rangers’ goaltending crisis worsens following Igor Shesterkin’s season-ending injury.

The show closes with soccer history as Harry Kane wins his first Ballon d’Or, becoming the first English winner since Michael Owen in 2001, while Alexia Putellas captures the women’s award for a third time. Chris also covers Mike Rizzo’s reported Astros interview and Francisco Lindor receiving the Roberto Clemente Award. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
