Can the Dolphins claw their way back into the playoff picture? We would probably be laughed off the internet if we discussed this a month ago -- but hear us out! The Dolphins have now strung together their first winning streak of the season and sit at 4-7 entering their Week 12 bye. They'll return from the bye with games against New Orleans and the New York Jets.

"I'm not surprised. They've got a nastiness to them," Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. "That's the fun part about our group. They like it when it gets thick. They like it when it gets messy and ugly. We like to take people there. We like to push people's buttons and see how they respond." "We've got a bunch of nasty dogs in that locker room, and they love it."

"That's what I want to do and what any corner wants to do," Gonzalez said. "You want to take away who they want to go to. Today it was Jeudy, my assignment, so just go out there and execute it and play team defense. "Shoutout to the front seven," he added. "They were getting back there and making it hard for the QB to throw the ball, so it all works together. It's not just one person covering or anything. It's all of us coming together and making plays together."

QPR's three-match winning streak is just the beginning of something, according to head coach Julien Stephan. The Londoners managed just one point from their opening three Championship games under their new French boss but have now beaten Charlton, Wrexham and Stoke and will look to make it four wins in a row at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Miami (76-80) went ahead to stay in the fourth when Lopez had an RBI double and scored on a single by Heriberto Hernández off Merrill Kelly (12-9). Back-to-back doubles by Jakob Marsee and Agustín Ramírez made it 3-0 in the fifth. Lake Bachar (8-2) worked two innings for the win after taking over for 22-year-old starter Eury Pérez, who set a season high by striking out nine in four scoreless innings.

Tense. Gripping. A proper Test match. Australia put England under the most pressure they have faced in a long time with a superb first half performance but the Red Roses pulled away in the second half to seal a quarter-final against Scotland and their 30th win in a row, which equalled their own world record. The scoreline was not a true reflection of what a battle this final Pool A match was with England not taking the lead until the 33rd minute.

Down 1-0 going to the bottom of the ninth inning, Syracuse rallied. With one out, David Villar singled. That set the table for Luis De Los Santos, who worked a full count and hit a 416-foot blast over the wall in right-center field to deliver the Mets a 2-1 win.
