The New York Mets broke a streak and made some history against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.

Facing a streak of seven straight losses, the Mets offense posted seven homers, all solo, in an 11-4 win to move back into a tie with Philadelphia at the top of the NL East. Their record is 46-31.

Those seven solo homers tied the Mets with six other teams for the most in a game in MLB history. Only three of those teams hit only solo homers, like the Mets, who got long balls from Juan Soto twice, Brandon Nimmo twice, Francisco Lindor, Jared Young and Francisco Alvarez.

Three of those came in consecutive fashion in the third inning.

It was a big game for Soto in particular, going 4 for 5 with two homers and four RBI. It was his eighth career game with double-digit total bases, putting him in some elite company given his age.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are NBA champions.

Oklahoma City capped a thrilling NBA Finals Sunday night with a dominant second half in Game 7 to secure a 103-91 win over the Indiana Pacers and the franchise’s first NBA title since it moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008.

A Pacers team that rallied for multiple unlikely wins throughout the playoffs kept pressure on in the fourth quarter after digging a 22-point hole. But without injured star Tyrese Haliburton, they couldn’t complete the comeback.

The win caps a brilliant season in which the Thunder posted a league-best 68 wins and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was named league MVP for the first time. Gilgeous-Alexander powered the Thunder effort Sunday night to put away a Pacers team that pushed them to the brink.

The swarming defense that has become Oklahoma City’s trademark took over after halftime as the Thunder repeatedly turned Pacers turnovers into transition points.

For the game, Oklahoma City won the turnover battle 21-7 while securing 14 steals. The result was a 32-10 advantage in points off turnovers for the Thunder.

The game was marred by a significant injury to Haliburton in the first quarter. Haliburton had hit three quick 3s and appeared on pace for a big game with a team-high nine points early on. But Haliburton fell to the floor injuring his leg and could not return. 

The new Cadillac Escalade brings subtle updates to the exterior and interior for the iconic and best-selling luxury full-size SUV.

The Escalade incorporates advanced lighting technology inherited from ESCALADE IQ. Functional lighting elements move from a horizontal to vertical arrangement, reinforcing the strong Cadillac identity — both during the day and at night.

Bolder front-end details are inspired by the CELESTIQ and LYRIQ design language, including a standard illuminated front crest and, on the V-Series and Premium Luxury Platinum trims, an illuminated grille surround. Rear lighting has been refined but remains unmistakably Escalade.

New for the 2025 Escalade are available 24-inch wheels, along with three new exterior colors: Aegean Stone, a bold, deep green gray with a confident solid appearance; Deep Sea Metallic, a rich metallic blue with a hint of gold in the highlight; and Latte Metallic, a modern light bronze with elegant metallic effect. Power open-and-close doors are also available.

But the real changes happen on the inside. The interior features an available Executive Second Row package that blends beauty with task-oriented functionality featuring stowable tray tables, 12.6-inch-diagonal personal screens, a rear command center, dual wireless phone charging pads, massaging seats and headrest speakers.

The Florida Panthers completed their Stanley Cup repeat in style with a 5-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 as four goals from Sam Reinhart helped them clinch back-to-back championships in front of an ecstatic home crowd in Sunrise.

In a rematch of last year’s Finals, the Panthers became the first team to repeat as champions since the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020-2021.

“The Stanley Cup is the most iconic trophy in sports and the most difficult to win,” said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman at the trophy presentation ceremony. “And while it may be difficult to win once, to do it twice in a row is almost impossible.”

Reinhart put the Panthers ahead five minutes into the game beating goaltender Stuart Skinner. Matthew Tkachuk doubled the lead in the final seconds of the first period. Reinhart scored his second of the night off his skate with 2:29 left in the second.

Reinhart killed off any hope of an Oilers comeback by scoring two empty-netters late in the third period, while Vasily Podkolzin grabbed a late consolation for Edmonton.

Sam Bennett, who scored 15 goals in the postseason, won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs MVP.

John Cena, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) legend, surprised fans when he announced his retirement after over two decades in the ring. He is set to make his final appearance in 2025.

Cena, 47, made his announcement at the WWE “Money in the Bank” event in Canada, and thanked fans for their energy and for allowing him to “play in their house.”

“Tonight, I officially announce my retirement from the WWE,” the 16-time WWE champion told the crowd.

Cena made his WWE TV debut in 2002, and since then he has become a staple for the wrestling organization, headlining WrestleMania five times.

“Wrestlemania 2025 will be the last Wrestlemania I compete in,” he said. 

Pete Alonso wasn’t satisfied just tying for second place on the Mets’ all-time home run list Sunday, so he claimed the spot as his own.

The sizzling first baseman had already homered once to tie David Wright with 242 homers as he approached the plate in the eighth inning at Coors Field. 

Two pitches later he was ahead of Wright, with only Darryl Strawberry remaining ahead of him.

“I don’t think that is really going to settle in because we’re still in the middle of the season,” Alonso said after the Mets finished a three-game series sweep with a 13-5 demolition of the Rockies. “Right now, it’s just focus on winning.”

Alonso and Jeff McNeil each blasted two homers on a day the Mets totaled six. 

Juan Soto reached base six times, becoming the first Mets player to accomplish that feat in a game since Alonso in 2019.

Alonso was a beast on the seven-game road trip, delivering five home runs and 15 RBIs. 

Alonso, with his 23rd career multi-homer game, moved ahead of Strawberry as the all-time Mets leader in that category. 

Alonso needs nine homers to match Strawberry at 252 as the leader in franchise history.

The NFL’s owners approved plans to expand replay assist and revisit overtime rules, while also opting to stick with the newly implemented kickoff rules, during the NFL League Meetings in Florida.

Regular-season overtime rules will now match the playoffs, allowing both teams the chance to get a possession even if a touchdown is scored on the opening drive. Additionally, overtime was amended to be 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes in play time.

The owners also approved a proposal to allow replay assist to consult on-field officials to overrule objective calls if there was “clear and obvious” evidence that a foul didn’t occur. Additionally, the league will continue to utilize the dynamic kickoff rule, which was implemented last season, while moving the ball on spot on touchbacks from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line.

Alex Palou continued his incredibly dominant IndyCar Series season with his first Indianapolis 500 win.

Palou passed Marcus Ericsson entering Turn 1 with 14 laps to go and held off Ericsson, David Malukas and Pato O’Ward the rest of the way. Ericsson lifted into the corner behind two lapped cars when Palou passed him and left a gap for the three-time IndyCar champion.

The victory is Palou’s fifth in six races in 2025 and the Barcelona native is the first Spanish driver to win the Indy 500. After winning  the 2023 and 2024 IndyCar titles, Palou is even better in 2025. The only race of the season he didn’t win was the Long Beach Grand Prix. And Palou was second to Kyle Kirkwood in that event.

After getting out of his car on the front-stretch after the checkered  flag, Palou ran down the track and celebrated with his crew and his father Ramon.
