On this episode of Yesterday in Sports, Chris Horwedel recaps a busy day across the World Cup, NHL Draft, MLB, WNBA, NHL trade rumors, and Formula 1. The show opens with France making a major World Cup statement against Norway, as Ousmane Dembélé delivers a breakout hat trick and reminds everyone that France’s attack is more than just Kylian Mbappé. Chris also covers Cape Verde making history as the smallest country ever to reach the World Cup knockout round, Spain topping Group H, and the Round of 32 picture beginning to take shape.

The NHL Draft takes center stage next, with the Toronto Maple Leafs selecting Gavin McKenna No. 1 overall in Buffalo. Chris breaks down what McKenna means for a pressure-heavy franchise like Toronto, while also covering major draft-night movement, including Boston acquiring JJ Peterka and St. Louis landing Mason McTavish from Anaheim.

In baseball, the Chicago White Sox put together one of the biggest offensive explosions of the season, beating Kansas City 22-1 behind 23 hits, a 10-run inning, and major production from Tristan Peters, Miguel Vargas, Jacob Gonzalez, Kyle Teel, and Andrew Benintendi. In the WNBA, Kamilla Cardoso sets a record with a perfect 13-for-13 shooting night as the Chicago Sky’s offense erupts. The show also covers Winnipeg listening to trade offers for Connor Hellebuyck and the Austrian Grand Prix weekend opening at the Red Bull Ring.
