Lionel Messi's 5-game multi-goal streak snapped in 3-0 loss to Cincinnati
The streak may have ended abruptly, and unceremoniously, but it underscored Messi's unmatched brilliance. No player in MLS history had ever scored multiple goals in even four straight games.

Messi's streak began on May 28, with a three-week pause for the FIFA Club World Cup between his second and third record-setting performances.
During that span, the 38-year-old legend tallied 10 goals — scoring twice in each of Inter Miami's wins over CF Montréal (twice), the Columbus Crew, the New England Revolution and Nashville SC.
'There are no words,' Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the Nashville win. 'What he continues to do is incredible. It's a blessing to be a part of this stage of his career.'
On the season, Messi has 16 goals and seven assists. With the loss, Inter Miami fell to 11 wins, four losses and five draws.

Patton Kizzire gets the luckiest bounce of the 3M Open on shot into the water
There were many birdies scored at the 3M Open on Friday via the power and precision of some of the world's best golfers. And then there's what Patton Kizzire did. On the 18th hole of Minnesota's TPC Twin Cities, Kizzire hit a 320-yard drive and still had a 233 yards to go to the hole, with a water hazard in the way. Kizzire opted to go directly for the green and hit what should have been a round-killing shot into the water. Fortunately, fate and 3M's marketing budget got in the way. Kizzire's second shot bounced off the 3M Open's floating logo in the water and landed in the rough next to the green. Instead of taking a penalty stroke, Kizzire was a chip and a putt away from a birdie on the par 5, which he accomplished with much less drama. Here's how the whole thing played out: That hole pushed Kizzire to 1-under as he moved to the front nine, but he failed to improve his score enough to avoid the cut. He finished the day at 1-under, well behind the 5-under cut line. He's made the cut in only five of 19 PGA Tour events this season and is currently ranked 171st on the Official World Golf Rankings. He'll at least have some memories from the tournament though.
