Penix Returns, Brewers Hit 100 and Haaland’s Nordic Record

Yesterday in Sports recaps a busy Thursday across the NFL, Major League Baseball, international soccer, the Presidents Cup and tennis, beginning with Michael Penix Jr.’s return for Atlanta against Green Bay.

Chris Horwedel covers Penix helping the Falcons to a 35-14 win at Lambeau Field, with Bijan Robinson and Drake London producing huge games while Green Bay struggles to establish any rushing attack.

In MLB, four more teams punch postseason tickets as the White Sox, Guardians, Cubs and Padres clinch playoff berths. Milwaukee reaches 100 wins for the first time in franchise history and secures baseball’s best record, while the NL wild-card race stays alive and Houston and Texas remain tied atop the AL West.

Soccer brings Udinese signing David Alaba, continued speculation around Dani Carvajal and a full UEFA Nations League slate. Germany draws the Netherlands in Jürgen Klopp’s debut, while Erling Haaland becomes the highest-scoring Nordic man in international soccer history during Norway’s win over Denmark.

The episode also covers the opening session of the Presidents Cup, where the United States takes a narrow lead over the International team, before closing with Coco Gauff becoming a player-owner in the relaunched World Team Tennis. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
