Last Night in Sports: June 1, 2026

Monday delivered exactly what the calendar promised: baseball only, nine games, both league boards dark. The loudest numbers came in Milwaukee, where the Brewers returned San Francisco's nineteen-run Coors Sunday with a fourteen-run beating of their own. The closest finish was in Seattle, where Cole Young walked the Mariners off in the tenth.

NBA — No games

The NBA board was dark for a second straight night. The Finals open Wednesday, June 3 in San Antonio, with the New York Knicks at the Spurs for Game 1.

NHL — No games

The NHL board was also dark. The Stanley Cup Final between the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes opens tonight, Tuesday June 2 in Raleigh on ABC.
