Baseball's unpredictability was showcased as the Mets achieved a surprising 9-0 victory over the Giants despite missing key players.
In the history of Major League Baseball, there have been 670 World Series games and just four have featured three catchers appearing for the same team. But only once in all those years and all those contests have all three catchers also produced a hit and RBI.

"Heated Rivalry" has captured hearts-and Instagram feeds-everywhere. The six-episode series on HBO Max mainly follows two hot, hot hockey stars, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, as they fight with each other on the ice and have sex with each other everywhere else. It's great-and Naomi Fry agrees. "Part of the pleasure for viewers," as Fry writes in her column, "is the show's plainspoken articulation of desire, when the love that dare not speak its name finally does."
