MLB: World Series Game 5

  • Brewers 4, Rays 1. Milwaukee wins the World Series 4-1, its first title in the franchise’s 57 years. Jacob Misiorowski threw 5.2 scoreless innings and left with a right calf cramp. Rookie Cooper Pratt drove in two runs, with an RBI single in the 2nd and a sac fly in the 6th, and he’s now 6-for-6 over his last six at-bats. William Contreras’ RBI double keyed the two-run 6th. JoJo Romero, Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill finished it, and Megill jammed Richie Palacios into a slow roller to Brice Turang for the final out. (~1M views). It’s the most-watched clip of the night, with Brewers fans going wild at Tropicana Field and back at American Family Field.
  • William Contreras is World Series MVP. He hit .381 (8-for-21) with 4 RBIs and threw out four base stealers. He’s the first catcher to win it since Salvador Perez in 2015. His brother Willson was in the stands wearing a Brewers jersey.
  • Milwaukee won 103 games, the most in MLB for a second straight year. Baseball’s season is over.

NBA

  • Warriors 119, Timberwolves 114. Stephen Curry scored a season-high 44, going 16-for-16 at the line with 6 threes. It’s his 46th 40-point game since turning 30, an NBA record. Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg added 26 and 9 rebounds. Golden State is 2-3, and Minnesota (3-2) played its first game without Anthony Edwards, who’s having a knee procedure. (~600K views). It’s the NBA’s top clip of the night, and the 44 ties LeBron for the most 40-point games at age 35 or older.
  • Cavaliers 121, Wizards 111. No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa scored 19 on 8-of-12 shooting in his NBA debut, but Evan Mobley (24) and Cleveland (3-1) rallied in the second half. Washington is 2-3. (~510K views). The No. 1 pick’s first bucket is the night’s second-biggest NBA clip.
  • Spurs 117, Jazz 111 (OT). Victor Wembanyama had 36 points, 14 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 threes. San Antonio closed overtime on a 12-0 run for its third straight win (3-2). Keyonte George scored 31 for short-handed Utah (1-4).
  • Mavericks 120, Thunder 96. Cooper Flagg had 26 points and 8 assists, and short-handed OKC (4-1) took its first loss. Ajay Mitchell scored 29 for the Thunder, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 21 in 28 minutes.
