Lionel Messi continues to rewrite the record books at the FIFA World Cup. Coming off the bench against Jordan in the second half, the Argentine legend buried a free kick in the eightieth minute for his nineteenth career World Cup goal, and in doing so became the first player in history to score in seven consecutive World Cup matches. There are simply no more superlatives left.
Meanwhile in San Diego, the Dodgers reminded the Padres exactly where they stand in the NL West pecking order. Los Angeles erupted for a nine-run inning at Petco Park, turning what looked like a Padres resurgence into a reality check. Fernando Tatis Junior couldn't make a key play in right, and Max Muncy punished them with a bases-clearing triple. Brutal timing for San Diego.
And over in the American League, Hunter Goodman put on an absolute show for the Colorado Rockies against the Minnesota Twins. The designated hitter went deep three times and drove in five runs to power Colorado to an eight to five victory. That comes a day after he hit a two-out, two-run shot in the ninth to win the series opener. Goodman is locked in right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
