MLB
Ben Williamson’s RBI single off Shane Drohan in the bottom of the 12th inning gave the Rays a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Brewers in game four of the World Series last night. Cooper Pratt’s solo home run had given Milwaukee a 3-2 lead in the top of the 12th, but Tampa Bay hit four straight singles off Drohan in the bottom of the inning to complete the comeback, and stave off elimination. The Brewers lead the Fall Classic 3-1, with game five tonight in Saint Petersburg. Jacob Misiorowski will start for the Crew.
NHL
The Red Wings will host the Blackhawks tomorrow.
NBA
The Pistons suffered their first loss of the season, falling 111-97 to the Knicks last evening. Paul Reed led Detroit with 22 points.
The Pistons welcome the Hornets tonight.
The Bucks entertain the Rockets this evening.
Former Pistons and Bucks guard Malik Beasley has agreed to plead guilty to charges that he was involved in a bribery and betting scheme. Beasley is accused of accepting money to manipulate his own performance four times when he played for Milwaukee in the 2023-2024 season. He played the next season in Detroit, and was on the verge of signing a multi-year contract with the Pistons when news of the probe came out. Beasley has not played in the NBA since then.
