San Francisco Giants at Los Angeles Dodgers

Emmet Sheehan turned an early mess into a controlled Dodgers win

San Francisco scored first and Matt Wilkinson protected that lead for five innings. The game tilted when Sheehan gave Los Angeles 5.1 scoreless relief innings and enough time for its hit volume to matter.

Washington Nationals at St. Louis Cardinals

Washington kept handing St. Louis openings, then kept taking the last out

The Nationals opened too many doors in a ragged 11-inning game, but Yovanny Cruz's ninth-inning escape, Jorbit Vivas's bridge hit and a four-run 11th gave them enough room to survive the last scare.

Spain - Argentina

Spain's 1-0 Was the Smallest Honest Number

The final score flattered the contest's simplicity. Spain outshot Argentina 20 to 2, accumulated nearly twice the possession, and carried a sustained xG advantage into extra time before the scoreline finally caught up.

England - Argentina

Argentina's Midfield Did the Governing, Messi Did the Deciding

Washington Nationals at St. Louis Cardinals

The Cardinals preserved a one-swing game until Leo Bernal finished it

Quinn Mathews' seven innings kept Washington's sixth-inning damage contained, which left the eighth to be decided by Ivan Herrera's tie and Bernal's stubborn, game-changing plate appearance.

France - England

England Made the Game, France Made It Interesting

Rice organized the middle, England's breaks were merciless, and France's halftime overhaul made the second half dangerous — without erasing who had actually run the match.

Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets

One swing flipped it, but the missing outs finished it

Francisco Alvarez erased a 3-1 deficit in the fifth, but the Mets' 10-3 win really took shape when Brooks Raley got no outs in a left-heavy sixth and Orion Kerkering lost the zone in the eighth.
