VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM CHICAGO CUBS AT MILWAUKEE BREWERS IN NLDS GAME FIVE COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW  SHOWS: MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 11, 2025) (MLB – See restrictions) CHICAGO CUBS AT MILWAUKEE BREWERS AT AMERICAN FAMILY FIELD STORY: The Milwaukee Brewers hit three solo home runs and used five pitchers to combine on a four-hitter, securing a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Saturday (October 11) to advance to the National League Championship Series. The Brewers, who hold the No. 1 overall seed and home-field advantage throughout the postseason, will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS starting Monday. This marks Milwaukee's first playoff series win since the 2018 NLDS; they lost to the Dodgers in seven games in the NLCS that year. William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn, and Brice Turang provided the offensive spark for Milwaukee with solo home runs. Vaughn broke a 1-1 tie in the fourth inning with a two-out homer off Colin Rea (0-1), while Turang added insurance in the seventh with a two-out homer against Andrew Kittredge. Contreras opened the scoring in the first inning with a two-out shot off Drew Pomeranz. Hard-throwing rookie Jacob Misiorowski (2-0) earned his second win of the series, allowing Chicago's only run—a leadoff homer by Seiya Suzuki in the second—while yielding just two singles over four innings. Misiorowski struck out three and walked none, setting the tone for Milwaukee's bullpen. Abner Uribe pitched two scoreless innings to earn the save. The Cubs failed to capitalize on opportunities, leaving two runners on with no outs in the sixth inning. Milwaukee's defense and pitching shut down Chicago's offense, marking the first time in the series that the Cubs did not score in the opening inning, as All-Star closer Trevor Megill delivered a perfect first frame. The Brewers took the first two games of the series at home before the Cubs rallied with two wins in Chicago, forcing the decisive fifth game. Milwaukee now aims to advance to the World Series for the first time since 1982.

MIAMI HEAD COACH JAVIER MASCHERANO SHAKING HANDS WITH ATLANTA COACH RONNY DEILA STORY: Lionel Messi scored two goals and assisted on another by Jordi Alba to lead Inter Miami to a 4-0 victory over Atlanta United on Saturday (October 11) night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Messi, who sat out his home nation Argentina's friendly against Venezuela that was held in Miami one night earlier, started and helped Inter Miami (18-7-8, 62 points) guarantee itself at least the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference with the victory. Inter Miami still has a chance to secure the No. 2 seed if it can finish with more points than FC Cincinnati, which also has 62 points. If the teams finish with the same number of points, Cincinnati would clinch the higher seed by virtue of the head-to-head tiebreaker. Atlanta United (5-16-12, 27 points), which eliminated Inter Miami from the MLS playoffs in the first round last season, lost its third match in a row and is winless in its past five. Both teams were short-handed players due to the FIFA international window this week. But Messi, who chose to play for club over country this weekend, now leads the MLS in goals with 26, and his 18th assist tied San Diego's Anders Dreyer for the league lead. Messi's first goal came in the 39th minute when Messi controlled a crossing pass from Baltasar Rodriguez and curled in a shot to the far top corner to break a scoreless stalemate. His second goal capped the scoring in the 87th minute off an assist from Alba. In the 52nd minute, Messi created the chance that led to Miami's second score when he looped a long ball across the field to Alba as he surged toward Atlanta's goal. Alba did the rest, lobbing the ball over Atlanta keeper Jayden Hibbert. Luis Suarez added to the tally in the 61st minute when he timed a shot perfectly off a high clearance attempt by Atlanta into the back of the net, looping it past Hibbert. Inter Miami's Rocco Rios Novo started in goal and recorded the clean sheet. Atlanta United, which has been riddled with injuries to key players this season, had to deal with another when, in the 14th minute, Stian Gregersen was forced to leave the game with what appeared to be a potential hamstring issue.

VIDEO SHOWS: HIGHLIGHTS VANCOUVER WHITECAPS AT ORLANDO CITY MLS MATCH COMPLETE SHOTLIST TO FOLLOW SHOWS: ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 11, 2025) (SOCCER UNITED MARKETING – Editorial use only. No more than two minutes use per match. Must on screen courtesy 'MLS on Apple'. No use after December 31, 2025. No monetisation. No resales. No sublicensing) STORY: Thomas Muller scored a late match-winner in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time for the Vancouver Whitecaps, who defeated host Orlando City 2-1 on Saturday (October 11).  Muller's goal put the Whitecaps atop the Western Conference with one match to go. Vancouver, which is 5-0-3 in its past eight MLS matches and three points ahead of second-place San Diego FC, ends the regular season at home against FC Dallas on Oct. 18. Orlando saw a four-match unbeaten streak come to an end. The Lions, who finish the regular season at Toronto FC on Oct. 18, ended the night in seventh place in the East. Muller snapped a 1-1 tie with a stunning goal deep into second-half stoppage time, a left-footed strike from beyond the edge of the box that made its way past Orlando goalkeeper Pedro Gallese. The Germany legend has scored six goals in six MLS matches since his debut for the Whitecaps on Aug. 17. Muller's goal came after Nelson Pierre pulled the Whitecaps level in the 81st minute on an unusual sequence in front of the net. After Sebastian Berhalter's initial shot rang off the post, the ball eventually made its way to teammate Pierre, who found the back of the net to make it 1-1. It was Pierre's first MLS goal. Orlando scored its lone goal in the 24th minute. Dagur Dan Thorhallsson threaded a through ball ahead to Martin Ojeda, who crossed the ball to Duncan McGuire near the edge of the box. McGuire's header found the path of Thorhallsson, who surged forward and struck it past Whitecaps goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka. It was Thorhallson's third goal of the season. Orlando was forced to make a first-half substitution as Robin Jansson exited in the 18th minute with an apparent leg injury. McGuire, who came in for Jansson, was subbed off himself due to injury in the 86th minute. (Production: Suramya Kaushik)
