Davey Johnson, a two-time World Series champion as a player and the manager of the 1986 New York Mets, has passed away at 82. He was a four-time All-Star who later won Manager of the Year in both the AL and NL. Johnson's 595 wins are the most in Mets history, and his career .562 winning percentage ranks 10th all-time among managers with over 1,000 victories.

Vital wins for Italy, Greece, and Switzerland highlighted a busy night of FIFA World Cup 26™ qualifying, while Scandinavian teams Sweden and Denmark were held at home. In a dominant start for a new era under coach Gennaro Gattuso, Italy dispatched Estonia 5-0. Elsewhere, France secured a crucial away victory over Ukraine, with Kylian Mbappe's goal tying him with Thierry Henry on the all-time scoring list for Les Bleus.
