Last Night in Sports: June 12, 2026

Friday belonged entirely to baseball. With both the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Final on off-days, a 15-game MLB slate carried the night, led by a Red Sox demolition of Texas and a Mariners romp over Washington. The upsets stood out too: the White Sox knocked off the Dodgers by six and the Blue Jays handled the Yankees in the AL East. Two games came down to a single run.
