In Cincinnati, the Reds got a scare Sunday when shortstop Elly De La Cruz pulled up at first base in the fifth inning with right hamstring tightness and had to exit against Atlanta. The good news — the Reds didn't miss a beat.
Eugenio Suárez stepped up and delivered a home run, his first since April fifteenth, and starter Nick Lodolo went six and two thirds innings allowing just three earned runs. Cincinnati held off the first-place Braves six to four, a gutsy win without their most electric player on the field.
Shifting to the international stage, and this one stings — Canadian midfielder Marcelo Flores has confirmed he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the Concacaf Champions Cup Final against Toluca. The Tigres player announced the news on social media, and the bottom line is devastating: Flores will miss the two thousand twenty six World Cup on home soil. Canada loses one of its most dynamic attacking pieces at the worst possible moment.
And in Paris, PSG celebrated their second consecutive Champions League title at Parc des Princes, with players introduced one by one onto a center-pitch stage to thunderous chants from supporters who say this one felt even sweeter than the first.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
