Mickey Moniak homered among his two hits, Ryan McMahon also homered and Brenton Doyle, Ryan Ritter and Tyler Freeman had two hits apiece for Colorado.

The Diamondbacks took a 2-0 lead with runs in the first and second innings, and Colorado got to Gallen in the third. Ritter doubled to left and scored on Freeman's two-out single to make it 2-1, but Arizona expanded its lead in the fourth.
Grichuk led off with a triple, Tawa walked and Vargas singled to left to drive in Grichuk. One out later Marte homered, his 13th of the season.
The Rockies answered in the bottom of the inning. McMahon led off with his 12tj homer of the season, Doyle had a one-out double and Moniak homered to make it 6-4, his 10th on the year.
Ritter, Jordan Beck and Freeman hit two-out singles to bring home another run and Hunter Goodman's double to left put Colorado ahead, 7-6. However, Suarez tied it with his first homer leading off the fifth and Vargas put Arizona ahead later in the inning with his first of the season, a two-run shot to left.

MLB roundup: Cal Raleigh's 2 homers power M's past Cubs
June 21 - Cal Raleigh hit his major-league-leading 28th and 29th home runs of the season to help the visiting Seattle Mariners to a 9-4 win against the Chicago Cubs on Friday afternoon. Raleigh, who passed Johnny Bench for the most home runs by a catcher before the All-Star break, also singled, walked and scored four times. Mitch Garver homered twice and drove in five runs, and Donovan Solano had three hits and an RBI for the Mariners, who have won five of seven. Seattle starter George Kirby allowed four runs and seven hits over five innings. Reliever Eduard Bazardo (2-0) threw one scoreless inning. Caleb Thielbar (2-2) gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning for the Cubs, who have lost two straight for just the second time since early May. Reese McGuire and Ian Happ homered for Chicago, and Michael Busch had three hits. Red Sox 7, Giants 5 Ceddanne Rafaela and David Hamilton combined for five hits, three runs and four RBIs out of the bottom two spots in the batting order and Boston spoiled Rafael Devers' reunion with a road victory over San Francisco. Meeting just five days after completing a blockbuster trade with Devers at the heart, the Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win for the eighth time in their last nine games. While Boston improved to 3-1 since the deal, the Giants lost for the third time in four games, with Devers going 0-for-5 in the opener of a three-game series. Diamondbacks 14, Rockies 8 Eugenio Suarez hit two of Arizona's four home runs to reach 300 for his career, and the Diamondbacks beat Colorado in Denver. Suarez tied his season high with four hits. Ketel Marte homered, doubled twice and drove in five runs and Ildemaro Vargas finished a triple shy of the cycle to pace the Diamondbacks' season-high 21-hit attack. Mickey Moniak homered among his two hits and Ryan McMahon also went deep for the Rockies. Arizona's Zac Gallen (5-8) allowed seven runs on 10 hits in five innings to beat Austin Gomber (0-1), who permitted nine runs on 12 hits in 4 2/3 innings. Brewers 17, Twins 6 Christian Yelich went 4-for-6 with two doubles and a career-high eight RBIs, Jacob Misiorowski carried a perfect game into the seventh inning, and Milwaukee trounced Minnesota in Minneapolis. Yelich twice hit bases-clearing doubles for Milwaukee, which matched a season high in runs. Jackson Chourio went 2-for-3 with two doubles and three RBIs, and Joey Ortiz finished 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Misiorowski (2-0) continued his dominant start to his big-league career. After pitching five hitless innings before cramps cut his major league debut short on June 12, the 23-year-old was perfect through six innings in his second start before the Twins finally dinged him for two runs in the seventh. He left with two runs allowed on one hit in six innings, and he walked one and struck out six. Rangers 6, Pirates 2 Adolis Garcia had three hits, including a home run, drove in two runs and made two great diving catches in right field to help Texas beat host Pittsburgh. Garcia backed up a strong outing by starter Jacob deGrom (7-2), who pitched six innings, allowing two runs as the Rangers snapped a three-game losing streak. Joey Bart had three hits for the Pirates, who took their fifth loss in six games. Mike Burrows was tagged for four runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. White Sox 7, Blue Jays 1 Luis Robert Jr. hit a two-run home run, Tyler Alexander pitched four scoreless relief innings and visiting Chicago defeated Toronto.

Bo Bichette had three hits and an RBI for the Blue Jays, who have lost two straight. Marlins 6, Braves 2 Rookie Agustin Ramirez homered and matched a season high with four RBIs to help lift host Miami past Atlanta, spoiling the major league debut of Didier Fuentes. Janson Junk (2-0) allowed one run on five hits in five innings while making his first major league start since 2023. He struck out five without walking a batter as Miami ended a two-game losing streak. Fuentes, who turned 20 on Tuesday, yielded four runs on six hits in five innings before departing after 87 pitches. He fanned three and walked one. He became the major leagues' youngest starting pitcher since 2016. Orioles 5, Yankees 3 Ramon Urias started the eighth inning by hitting a tiebreaking homer and visiting Baltimore continued its recent surge by beating New York. Urias allowed the Orioles to regain the lead when he hit a full-count fastball off Luke Weaver (1-2). Pinch hitter Gunnar Henderson added an RBI single off Tim Hill later in the eighth. The Yankees lost for the seventh time in eight games and wasted a big night from Aaron Judge, who hit a solo homer for a 3-2 lead, collected three hits and ended the night with a .371 average. Phillies 10, Mets 2 Trea Turner's RBI double snapped a tie and sparked a six-run seventh inning for Philadelphia, which completed its surge into first place in the National League East by beating reeling New York. The Phillies have won eight of nine while the Mets have lost seven straight by a combined 51-16. The losing streak is the longest for New York since a seven-game skid from June 2-9, 2023.

Astros 3, Angels 2 (10 innings) Mauricio Dubon scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the 10th inning as Houston defeated Los Angeles in Anaheim, Calif. Jeremy Pena went 3-for-4 with a home run as the Astros earned their eighth win in 10 tries. Pena and Isaac Paredes homered as Houston's first two batters of the game. Josh Hader (5-1) threw a perfect ninth inning, and Bennett Sousa worked the 10th for his second save. Hunter Strickland (1-1) took the loss after Angels starter Yusei Kikuchi allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings. Jo Adell and Christian Moore homered for Los Angeles, which was without manager Ron Washington (health concerns). Royals 6, Padres 5 Salvador Perez's RBI single snapped a tie in the eighth inning as visiting Kansas City stopped San Diego. Lucas Erceg (2-2) got the win despite allowing a game-tying two-run single by Gavin Sheets in the seventh that capped the Padres' rally from a 4-0 deficit. Bobby Witt Jr. and Jonathan India homered for the Royals, while India and Maikel Garcia had three hits apiece. Carlos Estevez worked the ninth for his 22nd save despite giving up a homer to Manny Machado. Xander Bogaerts tied the Padres' franchise record by collecting hits in his first three at-bats, giving him eight straight hits. The streak ended when he popped out in the ninth. Cardinals 6, Reds 1 St. Louis scored five runs in the seventh inning to beat visiting Cincinnati for its fourth consecutive win. Cardinals starter Andre Pallante (5-3) was effective through six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits for the Cardinals, who have won four in a row and five of six. Masyn Winn and Lars Nootbaar each had two hits and an RBI. Brady Singer (7-5) gave up one run on four hits in six innings for the Reds, who have lost two straight. Cincinnati's lone run scored on an eighth-inning error. Dodgers 6, Nationals 5 Miguel Rojas hit a two-run homer and Clayton Kershaw inched closer to 3,000 career strikeouts as Los Angeles earned a victory over visiting Washington. Kershaw (3-0) gave up two runs on five hits and two walks in five innings. He fanned four to move within eight of becoming the 20th pitcher with 3,000 strikeouts and the fourth left-hander.

United States temperatures will serve England players well ahead of World Cup, Harry Kane insists prior to weather that could cause extreme heat risks
Harry Kane insists that he isn't concerned by the extreme hot weather in America and that the England players at the Club World Cup can only benefit from the experience, ahead of the World Cup next summer which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. 'I'm not concerned. It's part and parcel of football. You have to be able to adapt. It's a great experience for me and some of the other England guys who are playing this year and who will be playing next summer,' Kane told Mail Sport. 'There's always something special about these World Cup games and next year will be the same. 'When you come off that pitch and you're sweating and you're dripping and you're cramping and you've given everything out there, there's a special feeling inside, especially when you win,' he added. Kane scored as Bayern Munich beat Boca Juniors in Miami to confirm qualification for the knockouts, with Michael Olise getting a late winner for Vincent Kompany 's side after Miguel Merentiel had equalised for Boca. Temperatures were around 30 degrees in Miami on Friday and a heatwave is expected next week, with Campaign group Fossil Free Football saying that 10 Club World Cup matches are due to be played in the next week with either a major or extreme heat risk, as temperatures could reach 41C. But the England captain stressed that he and his team-mates will use this tournament as a learning curve, as they look to succeed next year under Thomas Tuchel. 'We (the players) are not in touch with each other right now but it's something we'll talk about at upcoming camps - how we all adapted to it and what training methods we used,' said Kane. 'All of this is good experience because it's going to be tough next summer without a doubt. And we have to use our experiences as an advantage,' the Bayern Munich striker added. Tuchel was watching on in Miami and said last month that he expects his players to 'suffer' next summer. There have been warnings that temperatures at 14 of the 16 stadiums being used for the 2026 World Cup could exceed 'potentially dangerous levels' during the tournament. 'It is important to see matches now in America, and in Miami at three in the afternoon,' said Tuchel. 'I will see that. And how it looks and we need to understand how to cool the players down, to drink and what our options are. I have done pre-season there in Orlando and I will be very surprised if we do not suffer. Suffering is one of the headlines for this World Cup,' the England boss added.

Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors predictions, odds and betting tips
BAYERN MUNICH will look to secure a spot in the Round of 16 when they face South American giants Boca Juniors at the Hard Rock Stadium. Vincent Kompany's side opened their campaign in emphatic fashion, thrashing Auckland City 10-0. Meanwhile, Boca were held to a 2-2 draw against Benfica in their Group C opener. 🔥 Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors betting tips Waiting for the match to start? 📺 Keep up the live action with bet365 live casino! 👇 Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors predictions Find the latest football betting odds for Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors here. Our odds are provided by our recommended football betting sites and are subject to change. Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors predictions Bayern Munich kicked off their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign in ruthless fashion, dismantling New Zealand part-timers Auckland City with a 10-0 thrashing. The Germans raced to a 6-0 lead by half-time, before a 17-minute hat-trick from Jamal Musiala and a second goal from Thomas Müller capped off a dominant display. After such a one-sided opener, Bayern are unlikely to make many changes for their second fixture. However, with Boca Juniors expected to pose a more physical challenge, Dayot Upamecano could be brought in to beef up the backline. Bayern are heavy favourites to progress in the competition. The Bavarians are priced at 1/5 to win the group and 1/16 to qualify for the Round of 16. The two-time Club World Cup champions are 6/1 to lift the trophy for a third time. Things were far less straightforward for Boca Juniors in their FIFA Club World Cup opener. The Argentines surged into a 2-0 lead against Benfica inside 27 minutes, courtesy of goals from Miguel Merentiel and Rodrigo Battaglia. But they couldn't hold on for the three points. First, Ángel Di María pulled one back with a stoppage-time penalty at the end of the first half. And with the final whistle in sight, Nicolás Otamendi completed the comeback with an 84th-minute equaliser. The Blue and Gold will be forced into changes after red cards for Jorge Figal and Ander Herrera against the Eagles. Former Manchester United midfielder Herrara had already been substituted due to injury before being sent off from the bench - so he may not have been available regardless. Boca are priced at 8/1 to win the group and 11/10 to reach the Round of 16. The one-time finalists are 80/1 outsiders to win the Club World Cup for the first time. Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors betting tips Both teams head into this clash under very different circumstances. Bayern's firepower and depth make them clear favourites, but Boca's resilience and physical edge could pose problems if the Germans aren't at their best. Our Bayern vs Boca betting tips follow: Bayern to win and both teams to score Bayern are heavy favourites at just 1/6 in the match result market, so to unlock better value, we'll need to pair that with an additional outcome. While Boca Juniors aren't known for their attacking firepower, they've managed to score in 11 of their last 14 matches - including twice against Benfica. The Argentines will likely aim to keep things compact against the Bavarians, but with Bayern's high defensive line and expansive attacking style, Boca should have a decent chance of finding the net. We're also confident that Vincent Kompany's side will go on to win the match - so we're happy to back this, along with both teams to score. ➡️ Bayern to score in both halves Bayern netted six goals in the first half and four more in the second against Auckland City. Admittedly, that fixture was a clear mismatch, but the Bavarians have been in strong goalscoring form of late - scoring at least twice in 11 of their last 12 Bundesliga outings, and at least three times in eight of those matches. With Boca likely to make things difficult, Bayern may have to grind out a result, and we can see them needing to score in both halves to overcome their stubborn opponents. Michael Olise to score anytime Michael Olise has quickly grown in stature since making the move from London to Munich. The former Crystal Palace man clearly has the trust of head coach Vincent Kompany, and that faith has been repaid with a series of standout performances from the 23-year-old. Olise enjoyed an impressive debut Bundesliga season, registering 12 goals and 15 assists. He followed that up with two goals and two assists in Bayern's emphatic 10-0 win over Auckland City. We expect Olise to continue his fine form with another goal against Boca Juniors. 📺 How to watch Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors Location: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida.
