The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions, and let that sink in for a moment. A four to one victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game five seals the franchise's first-ever title, capping a remarkable run by one of baseball's small-market clubs. A decades-long wait is finally over in Wisconsin, and the baseball world is taking notice.
Out of Detroit, Dylan Larkin will not dress tonight against the Blackhawks, and this is not a maintenance day. Sources tell ESPN the former Red Wings captain is being held out for trade-related reasons, meaning the organization is actively working to move him. It's a stunning turn for a player who wore the C in Motown not long ago, and the clock is ticking on where he lands.
And a moment worth pausing on from the set of Inside the NBA. Charles Barkley got visibly emotional after Ernie Johnson revealed he's retiring from the show. Barkley called it an honor and a privilege to have worked alongside Johnson, and honestly, given what that program has meant to basketball fans for decades, you understand exactly why it hit him that hard.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
