(St. Louis, MO) — The Brewers’ Tuesday night game in St. Louis was postponed and will be made up as part of a day-night doubleheader July 7th. Milwaukee’s front office is also announcing that lefty reliever Angel Zerpa is going to have elbow surgery next week. It will end his season. That leaves the Brewers and manager Pat Murphy looking for relievers from the left side since it isn’t clear when or if Jared Koenig will be active again. It’s hoped that D-L Hall or Shane Drohan can pick up some of the slack, but they have had control problems.
Brewers and Cardinals square off this afternoon. Pregame at 11:40am. First pitch at 12:15pm on AM1240 & 96.5FM
WASHINGTON (AP) — Byron Buxton hit a three-run home run, Brooks Lee drove in three runs, and Taj Bradley struck out eight to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Washington Nationals 11-3. Bradley gave up two runs and four hits across six innings. Lee was 3 for 5 with two doubles and Trevor Larnach added two hits and two RBIs. The Nationals are 4-13 at home this season. Buxton’s homer was his sixth in the last eight games and 11th this season and made it 10-3 in the eighth. Nationals starter Cade Cavalli gave up six runs, three earned, in four innings. Curtis Mead and José Tena each went 2 for 4 with a double.
DENVER (AP) — Nathan MacKinnon scored a goal and assisted on two more as the Colorado Avalanche rolled through Minnesota’s newest netminder, Filip Gustavsson, on their way to a 5-2 win over the Wild to grab a 2-0 lead in the second-round playoff series. This featured a little more defense than in the 9-6 contest in Game 1. The 14 goals this series for the Avalanche are the most in the first two games of a playoff series since the Calgary Flames had 15 against the Los Angeles Kings in 1988. Martin Necas, Gabriel Landeskog and Nicolas Roy all scored their first goals of the series. Valeri Nichushkin added an empty-netter in the closing seconds.
LAVAL, Quebec (AP) — Marie-Philip Poulin scored at 4:02 of the third overtime period and Ann-Renee Desbiens made 38 saves to record the shutout as the Montreal Victoire defeated the Minnesota Frost 1-0 in Game 2 of the Professional Women’s Hockey League semifinal series on Tuesday. Montreal’s win evens the best-of-five showdown at 1-1 as the series shifts to Minnesota for the next two games. The Frost won Game 1 on Saturday, 5-4 in overtime. Game 3 is Thursday at the Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minn. It was the seventh straight playoff game requiring overtime for the Frost dating back to last season.
(Milwaukee, WI) — New Bucks head coach Taylor Jenkins didn’t come from the bargain store. Yahoo Sports reports that he has signed a multi-year contract worth more than 10 million dollars per season. He’s not the highest-paid NBA coach, but he’s near the top of the list. Jenkins coached the Memphis Grizzlies for six seasons, reaching the playoffs four times, and led the team to a franchise-record 56 wins four seasons ago. He was an assistant under Mike Budenholzer, and he was in Milwaukee as Giannis Antetokounmpo was developing into a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player.
(Green Bay, WI) — General manager Brian Gutekunst says edge rusher Micah Parsons is a “freak” when talking about how quickly the Packers defender is recovering from his knee injury. Green Bay’s success during the 2026 NFL season is – to a great extent – dependent on the return to the lineup of Parsons and tight end Tucker Kraft. During an interview on SiriusXM Radio, Gutekunst said both important players are “doing great.”
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — New Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon says he will adjust his scheme to fit what his players do best. The Packers had run a 4-3 defense with Jeff Hafley as coordinator the last two years after operating a 3-4 scheme with Joe Barry from 2021-23. Gannon has some specific principles he likes to utilize. But he said he’s not going to force a defense to do something that doesn’t suit its players’ talents. Gannon had a productive two-year run as Philadelphia’s defensive coordinator from 2021-22 before going 15-36 as the Arizona Cardinals’ coach from 2023-25.
(Madison, WI) — The Wisconsin football program has hired impressive new assistant coaches and brought in a busload of players through the transfer portal. Optimism is high for a once-proud program hungry for a winner. Spring practices were promising, but it looks like ESPN isn’t buying. The sports network ranked how well the 18 football programs in the Big Ten did in the offseason, and it placed the Badgers at number 14. Instead of being impressed with the coaching and playing talent, the college football analysts say the offseason turnover is a bad look.
