Brewers Are Champions as McDavid & Jokic Make History

Yesterday in Sports recaps a championship night and a packed Wednesday across MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, soccer and boxing, beginning with Milwaukee finally reaching the top of baseball.

Chris Horwedel breaks down the Brewers’ 4-1 win over Tampa Bay in Game 5, clinching the first World Series championship in franchise history. Jacob Misiorowski delivers a dominant start, rookie Cooper Pratt makes World Series history and William Contreras earns MVP honors as Milwaukee completes an 11-2 postseason run.

The NFL brings another major Indianapolis sell-off, with the 49ers acquiring DeForest Buckner only a day after the Colts sent Quenton Nelson to Seattle. Josh Downs reportedly requests a trade, while Kansas City adds Justin Tucker to its practice squad and creates a potential kicking competition with Harrison Butker.

In the NBA, Nikola Jokić records the 200th triple-double of his career, putting Russell Westbrook’s all-time record within reach. Dallas hands Oklahoma City its first loss, Houston becomes the league’s first 5-0 team, Stephen Curry scores 44 and AJ Dybantsa makes his delayed NBA debut.

Connor McDavid makes NHL history by recording an assist in his 13th consecutive game to begin the season, breaking a record he previously shared with Wayne Gretzky and others. Seattle, Washington and Colorado also pick up notable wins.

The show closes with Liverpool and Manchester City surviving League Cup shootouts, a reported long-term Christian Pulisic extension with AC Milan, and boxing legend Amanda Serrano announcing that her January title defense in Puerto Rico will be the final fight of her career.
