Kylian Mbappe put on a show in the FIFA World Cup, scoring twice against Sweden to move into second place on the all-time World Cup goals list. France rallied hard for the victory, and the performance carried extra weight as Les Bleus paid tribute to longtime manager Didier Deschamps in what felt like a celebration as much as a competition.
Meanwhile the drama was flying in Washington as benches cleared during the Red Sox and Nationals game. Willson Contreras charged the mound and threw his helmet at pitcher Cade Cavalli after Cavalli yelled in his direction following a fourth-inning strikeout. Tempers ran hot, the benches emptied, and now both sides will be waiting on the league's response.
On the NBA front, the Los Angeles Lakers are having a rough offseason. Hours after learning LeBron James would not be returning, they got more bad news when sharpshooter Luke Kennard agreed to join the Phoenix Suns on a deal worth thirteen million dollars over two years. The Lakers are losing pieces fast and the offseason pressure is only building.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
