Last Night in Sports: June 29, 2026

Monday's 13-game MLB board was a full night of baseball with no marquee drama except the Dodgers putting on an offensive clinic in Oakland. Los Angeles tagged the Athletics for 17 hits in a 9-4 rout, the kind of production that has defined their season. NBA and NHL are both in their offseasons.
