Hamilton’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 15 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter, and the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Indiana Pacers 111-104. That win ties the N-B-A Finals 2-2. Jalen Williams added 27 and Alex Caruso had 20 for the Thunder.
Quarterback Davis Alexander threw for 344 yards, one touchdown and one interception as the Montreal Alouettes rolled past the Ottawa Redblacks 39-18. Montreal won at Ottawa’s T-D Place for an 11th consecutive game, a streak dating back to 2018. Redblacks receiver Eugene Lewis’s streak of consecutive games with a touchdown came to an end, ending his bid to tie Terry Evanshen’s record of 10 straight games.
Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run homer as the Philadelphia Phillies routed the Toronto Blue Jays 8-0. The Blue Jays got a small bit of good news, however, as veteran pitcher Max Scherzer had a successful start for the triple-A Buffalo Bisons. He looked sharp in his first rehab start after he was sidelined by thumb inflammation.
Dominic Canzone hit a two-run single in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 7-2 to move back to .500. Canzone, who was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, smacked a base hit to score two during a four-run inning for the Mariners.
Logan Webb tossed seven innings of two-hit ball, Casey Schmitt hit his first career grand slam and the San Francisco Giants defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2. Webb allowed two runs, struck out four and walked three for his first win since May 16 against the Athletics. Schmitt’s grand slam travelled 423 feet in the third.
Caitlin Clark is ready to play again, meaning the Indiana Fever will have their best player back in time to play the reigning W-N-B-A champion New York Liberty this afternoon. Clark missed five games with a quadriceps injury, then practised this week with all signs pointed toward her playing against the undefeated defending champs.
