Fabián Ruiz scores 2 goals and psg routs real madrid 4-0 to reach club world cup final
Ruiz scored in the sixth minute and Ousmane Dembélé in the ninth following glaring mistakes by defenders Raúl Asencio and Antonio Rüdiger, and Ruiz made it 3-0 to cap a counter. Gonçalo Ramos added a goal in the 87th. Coming off its first European title, PSG plays for the championship on Sunday. Real fared no better than Inter Milan, overrun by PSG 5-0 in the Champions League final. The 15-time European champion looked sluggish after traveling to Florida for training between games, and PSG had 76.5 percent possession in the first half. A crowd of 77,542 was at MetLife Stadium on a scorching day with a temperature of 91 degrees Fahrenheit (33 Celsius) at kickoff and humidity that made it feel like 101 (38). Real's Kylian Mbappe was not a threat in his first game against his former team. Luka Modrić entered in the 64th in likely his last match for Madrid, his team since 2012. Éder Militão came in at the same time in his first game since tearing his right ACL on Nov. 9. PSG surged ahead after Lucas Beraldo's cross was mis-hit by Raúl Asencio. Thibaut Courtois tipped the ball from Dembélé, and Ruiz slammed it into the empty net. Dembélé then took possession about 40 yards out after a Rüdiger mis-hit, dribbled, and slotted past Courtois. PSG went the length of the field to make it 3-0. Hakimi exchanged passes with Dembélé, then crossed for Ruiz, who maintained control despite Federico Valverde's challenge and scored from 8 yards for his third goal of the tournament. Key moment: Madrid's defense was missing Dean Huijsen, who got a red card Saturday against Borussia Dortmund, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who had right leg muscle discomfort. Takeaways: Paris Saint-Germain has earned 88,435,000 to 113,815,000 for reaching the final, the amount depending on a participation fee.

Murphy hits two long hrs, braves beat cardinals 6-5
Sean Murphy hit two of the longest home runs at Busch Stadium this season, and the Atlanta Braves hung on to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 on Friday night. Murphy hit a 437-foot two-run shot to left-center field on an 0-2 pitch from Matthew Liberatore for a 3-0 lead in the first. Murphy fouled off seven pitches in a 13-pitch at-bat before hitting a 440-foot solo shot to center for a 5-2 advantage in the third. Murphy and Ronald Acuña Jr. both had three of the Braves' 12 hits. Enyel De Los Santos (3-2) got the win with two perfect innings following starter Grant Holmes, who allowed five runs and nine hits in three innings. Raisel Iglesias pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 10th save in 14 opportunities–and first since June 24 against the Mets. Acuña hit the third pitch from Liberatore for a double and scored on Austin Riley's one-out single for the Braves' first run. Michael Harris II doubled and scored on Acuña's single for a 4-2 lead in the second. Jurickson Profar doubled following Murphy's second homer and scored on a single by Drake Baldwin for a 6-2 advantage. Brendan Donovan singled leading off the Cardinals' first against Grant Holmes. Alec Burleson had a one-out double to drive in the Cardinals' first run for a second straight day. Willson Contreras RBI single cut it to 3-2. Pedro Pagés had a two-out bases-loaded single in the third to drive in two, and Victor Scott II followed with an RBI single to get the Cardinals to 6-5. Atlanta third baseman Austin Riley left after three innings with what the team said was abdominal tightness. Key moment: Burlson drew a walk leading off the seventh against Austin Cox before Contreras greeted replacement Rafael Montero with a single. Montero retired the next three to keep it 6-5. Key stat: The Braves beat the Cardinals for the 1000th time but trail by 106 wins in the all-time series–with 18 ties. Up next: The Braves haven't announced a Saturday starter opposite Cardinals RHP Erick Fedde (3-9 4.79 ERA).

Mariners' cal raleigh breaks al record with 38 homers before the all-star break
Cal Raleigh hit his 37th and 38th home runs in Seattle's 12-3 victory over Detroit on Friday night to move within one of Barry Bonds's 2001 major league record for homers before the All-Star break. Raleigh hit a solo homer off former teammate Tyler Holton in the eighth to tie the American League record of 37 set by Reggie Jackson in 1969 and matched by Chris Davis in 2013. '(Holton) and I are really good friends and I've caught a lot of his pitches,' said Raleigh, who was in the lineup as the designated hitter instead of at catcher. 'I don't think that helped much but I'm sure he's not very happy with me.' Raleigh hit a grand slam off Brant Hurter in the ninth. 'I didn't even know it was a record until just now,' Raleigh said. 'I don't have words for it I guess. I'm just very grateful and thankful.' Seattle has two games left in Detroit before the break. 'Cal Raleigh… this is just unbelievable,' Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. 'He's already set the AL record and now he's only one short of Barry. There are two games so who knows?' Raleigh hit 10 homers in March and April, 12 in May, 11 in June and has five in July. 'This is a very boring comment but baseball is all about consistency,' Wilson said. 'This hasn't been one hot streak; he's doing this month after month. That says everything.'

Twins shortstop Carlos Correa sprains ankle when baserunner slides into him at 2nd
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa had to be helped off the field after injuring his right ankle when Pittsburgh's Tommy Pham slid into him at second base. Pham was trying to get to second on his liner off the wall in right field in the seventh inning of the Twins' 2-1 victory Friday night. Right fielder DaShawn Keirsey Jr.'s throw beat Pham, whose batting helmet made contact with Correa's lower leg. Correa rolled over and stayed on the ground before leaving the game. Brooks Lee moved from second base to shortstop to replace Correa. The team said Correa had a mild ankle sprain. The 30-year-old Correa is already in his 11th big league season and has been a mainstay at shortstop for the Twins since signing as a free agent in 2022. He missed about half of last season with a concussion and a plantar fascia injury – the latter of which kept him from playing in the All-Star Game after he was chosen for the third time.
