The Arizona Diamondbacks drove in five runs on seven hits off Blue Jays starter José Berríos as they coasted to 12-1 win over Toronto. The Jays, who lost Friday’s opener 5-4, wrap up a three-game series this afternoon with the Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix, then will have four days off during the M-L-B All-Star break.
Juan Soto and Aaron Judge hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning as the visiting New York Yankees routed the Baltimore Orioles 6-1 to become the first A-L East team since April 2023 to win a series against the Orioles. The Orioles still hold the division lead over the Yankees by percentage points, but the winner of Sunday’s series finale will have first place heading into the All-Star break.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are no longer undefeated, or in top spot in the C-F-L’s West Division. The B-C Lions beat the Saskatchewan Roughriders 35-20 to remain unbeaten at B-C Place in Vancouver and to move into top spot in the division. The Lions are 5-and-1, while the Roughriders are 4-and-1.
Heartbreak for Canada as Luis Suarez’s goal two minutes into stoppage time allowed Uruguay to tie the match 2-2, then the squad went on to beat Canada 4-3 in penalties to finish third in the Copa America match played in Charlotte, North Carolina. Jonathan David’s goal in the 80th minute had put Canada ahead 2-1. Argentina and Colombia play in the championship match Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Brian White scored twice and Fafa Picault had a goal and assist as the visiting Vancouver Whitecaps defeated St. Louis City 4-1 in Major League Soccer action. Meanwhile in Toronto, Deandre Kerr tied the game in the 78th minute, then Toronto F-C was gifted an own goal four minutes later en route to a 2-1 win over the visiting Philadelphia Union. Up the road in Montreal, Ruan scored early in the second half as the host Impact edged Atlanta United 1-0.
Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are set to meet for the Wimbledon men’s championship. Today’s final at the All England Club is a rematch from last year, when Alcaraz got past Djokovic in five sets. The 37-year-old Djokovic is trying to win his eighth Wimbledon title to equal Roger Federer for the most by a man at the grass-court major. A victory by Djokovic would also give him 25 Grand Slam singles titles, more than any other player in tennis history.
