Hold on to your jersey, Jacob — England absolutely STUNNED France with a massive 6–4 victory on Saturday in what might be the most exciting World Cup match of the year! Ten goals flew into the net as the crowd went absolutely bananas, and England's players celebrated like crazy when that final whistle blew. France is one of the world's best teams, so beating them by TWO goals is a really huge deal.
Both teams poured on the offense in this one — France scored four goals and STILL lost! England's attack was just unstoppable all game long, keeping France from ever truly catching up. This is the kind of World Cup game that you'll be talking about with your friends for years. The Three Lions showed up BIG and put the rest of the tournament on notice: England means business in 2026.
With a win like this, England will ride a huge wave of confidence into their next match. France will need to regroup fast if they want to stay alive. Yesterday was pure soccer magic — 10 goals, non-stop action, and a history-making England performance. WOW.
Saturday was a HUGE day of baseball with 15 games on the schedule — including doubleheader action in Cleveland, two extra-innings nailbiters, a dominant Tarik Skubal gem, and the Athletics putting up a jaw-dropping 15 runs! Let's break it all down.
🔥 Game of the Day — DET 7, LAA 0: Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal was simply untouchable against the Angels. He went 7.0 innings, allowed ZERO runs, gave up only 5 hits, struck out 9 batters, and didn't walk a single hitter. That's one of the cleanest pitching lines you'll ever see! The Angels couldn't do anything against him.
💥 Blowout Alert — ATH 15, WSH 1: The Athletics crushed the Nationals with a 15-run explosion! Pitcher J.T. Ginn was the star of the show on the mound, going 6.1 innings without giving up a single earned run while striking out 7. That's a total team beatdown.
⚔️ Tight Ones — TEX 7, ATL 6 & BOS 7, TB 6: The Rangers snuck past the Braves by one run, with Joc Pederson going 2-for-4 with a homer and 3 runs scored. In Boston, Wilyer Abreu smashed TWO home runs and drove in 3 runs to lift the Red Sox past the Rays 7–6. Super close games!
⏱️ Extra Innings — BAL 4, HOU 2 (F/11) & SEA 4, SF 3 (F/10): The Orioles needed 11 innings to beat the Astros, with D. Beavers coming through with a key RBI double. In Seattle, Cal Young went 2-for-4 with a homer and 3 RBI as the Mariners walked it off in 10.
Other Highlights: Trea Turner went 3-for-4 with a homer, RBI, 3 runs, and even stole a base as the Phillies beat the Mets 6–1. The Cubs thumped the Twins 6–2 behind Kody Clemens, who homered TWICE. The Pirates beat Cleveland in the first game of their doubleheader 7–1 (makeup game), but the Guardians bounced back to win the nightcap 5–3. The Brewers edged the Marlins 8–6, Toronto nipped the White Sox 1–0 thanks to a great Shane Bieber start (6 IP, 0 ER, 6 K), Kansas City beat San Diego 6–1, Arizona beat St. Louis 5–3, and Colorado won at home over Cincinnati 10–3.
