In just about a month on the team, Lionel Messi has already helped Inter Miami win its first trophy. Now, they’re 90 minutes away from the second one, after his performance lifted the team to a win in the U.S. Open Cup semifinals.
During Wednesday night’s match vs. Cincinnati, Messi finished with two assists in the thrilling penalty-kick victory. Messi’s second assist was a perfectly-placed ball to Leonardo Campana, who cooly finished in the 97th minute to equalize at 2–2 just before the final whistle.

The Dodgers led the Cleveland Guardians 3-1 after two innings Wednesday when heavy rain forced the suspension of play until Thursday.

As the ball boys and girls ran onto the court at Louis Armstrong Stadium on Wednesday night for the U.S. Open’s “Stars of the Open” event, one ball boy stood out from the rest: Heat star Jimmy Butler.
The six-time NBA star was decked out in full ball boy garb, and he got to work on the court during the match between world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 10 Frances Tiafoe.
But, Butler didn’t stay put on the sidelines. At one point, he grabbed a racquet and jumped onto the court prepared to play Alcaraz, the reigning U.S. Open champion.

Hope had been all but lost for the Yankees going into Wednesday night’s game against the Nationals. New York had dropped nine straight and fallen to 60–65 on the year, making any sort of late-season push seem hopeless.
But no one seemed to tell Aaron Judge that. 
The star outfielder exploded for a career night Wednesday, smashing three home runs to finally snap the Yankees’ losing streak and power New York to a 9–1 victory. Judge’s performance marked the first time in his accomplished career that he’d hit three homers in a single game.
