6/17: Messi Hat Trick, NBA Finals Ratings, Dodgers Win

This week on Yesterday in Sports:

Yesterday in Sports recaps a loaded day across the World Cup, NBA, WNBA, MLB, college baseball, and the MLB trade market. Chris Horwedel opens with Lionel Messi’s historic hat trick in Argentina’s 3-0 World Cup win over Algeria, as Messi reaches 200 international appearances and ties Miroslav Klose for the most goals in men’s World Cup history. The episode also covers Kylian Mbappé scoring twice in France’s 3-1 win over Senegal, passing Olivier Giroud as France’s all-time leading scorer and moving closer to the World Cup goals record.

Chris also breaks down the massive TV ratings from the Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals, including New York’s first championship in 53 years and why a strong Knicks team matters for the NBA. In the WNBA, the Indiana Fever’s record-setting win over the Toronto Tempo highlights a balanced attack led by Kelsey Mitchell, Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, and Sophie Cunningham.

Plus, the Dodgers edge the Rays behind Shohei Ohtani’s home run, West Virginia keeps its College World Series run alive with a dominant win over Troy, and the San Francisco Giants could become a major MLB trade deadline team with Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, Matt Chapman, and Luis Arraez all worth watching.
