(Milwaukee, WI) — Three Brewers pitchers combined on a 4-hit shutout Sunday afternoon to win the home series against Philadelphia. Jackson Chourio and Blake Perkins homered in the 4-0 win. It was the second time in three games that the Phillies were held scoreless, following Jacob Misiorowski’s “Maddux” on Friday. A “Maddux” is a complete-game shutout taking fewer than 100 pitches. Kyle Harrison got the win Sunday, and Milwaukee is off tonight.

Andrew Morris pitched a scoreless inning for the win. Yoendrys Gómez earned his sixth save of the season and fifth with the Twins.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes won their first Stanley Cup championship in 20 years on Sunday night, using a suffocating defense in Game 6 to shut down the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 and winning three straight games of a thrilling final filled with momentum swings and spectacular offense. Brandon Bussi, who entrance late into Game 3 helped turn around the series, recorded his first career playoff shutout in stopping 22 shots. Jackson Blake backed him up with a goal and assist, and Taylor Hall scored just 3:47 into the game to set the tone. Nikolaj Ehlers added an empty-net goal.
(Green Bay, WI) — The Packers may have found another offensive line contributor on the third day of the 2026 NFL Draft.

(Milwaukee, WI) — Multiple sources are reporting that the Boston Celtics have become the second team to make a specific trade offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Until now, the Miami Heat had been the assumed frontrunners. Masslive-dot-com reports high-scoring guard-forward Jaylen Brown would be the centerpiece of the deal. Other player names haven’t been released, but the online report notes that the Celtics could add up to four future first-round draft picks.

The Badgers’ recruiting class is ranked fourth in the Big Ten by 247Sports, and 12th nationally.
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Denny Hamlin is still planning to retire at the end of next season but won the NASCAR Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway for his third consecutive victory. That moves him past the late Kyle Busch for ninth on the all-time wins list. Hamlin is the oldest full-time driver in NASCAR’s Cup Series at 45. He now has 64 career victories. Despite his success, including four wins this season, he remains firm on retiring when his deal with Joe Gibbs expires in 2027. Tyler Reddick finished second, and William Byron was third. NASCAR’s next event is a street race at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego.
