San Diego's postseason dream is over, and it stings. The Padres fell to the Milwaukee Brewers three to one in Game Four of the NLDS, eliminated in heartbreaking fashion. Missed opportunities piled up all series long, and in the end, Manny Machado and company just couldn't close the door at Petco Park.
Shifting to the pitch, Liverpool are getting a major boost in midfield with a player returning from a twenty-month injury absence. The Reds have been stretched thin in that department, especially with Curtis Jones now gone, and Trey Nyoni carrying a heavier load than expected. This return couldn't come at a better time for Andoni Iraola's squad.
And over in Germany, the Joshua Kimmich conversation is heating up during the international break, with some questioning whether the Bayern Munich star should still be an automatic starter for the national team. Vincent Kompany isn't sweating it though, calling it a mini-debate and expressing full confidence that it won't get inside Kimmich's head or affect his form on the pitch.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
