This week on Yesterday in Sports:

On this episode of Yesterday in Sports, Chris Horwedel recaps a loaded day across the World Cup, MLB, WNBA, NBA rumors, golf, Formula 1, and NASCAR. The show opens with Canada making men’s World Cup history by reaching the last 16 for the first time, thanks to a dramatic late Stephen Eustáquio goal against South Africa in Los Angeles. Chris also highlights Alphonso Davies’ return from injury, Jesse Marsch’s impact, and South Africa’s historic knockout-stage run.

In baseball, the Boston Red Sox complete a memorable four-game sweep of the New York Yankees at Fenway Park, winning a wild 10-inning finale after New York rallied late. Chris breaks down Sonny Gray’s near no-hit bid, Jarren Duran’s walk-off hit, Masataka Yoshida’s key run, and what the series means for both Boston and New York.

The WNBA delivered one of the wildest games in league history, as the Washington Mystics and Portland Fire played only the second quadruple-overtime game the league has ever seen. Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen, Michaela Onyenwere, and Carla Leite all headline a 124-123 marathon, while Georgia Amoore’s knee soreness becomes something to monitor.

The episode also covers Jaylen Brown trade buzz around the Boston Celtics, Haeran Ryu winning the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship for her first major title, Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland heading to a Monday playoff at the Travelers Championship, George Russell winning the Austrian Grand Prix over Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli, and Shane van Gisbergen taking another NASCAR road-course victory at Sonoma.
