Aaron Judge singled home Tyler Wade to give the Yankees a 1-0 win over Tampa Bay, which clinched a spot in the American League wildcard game against the Red Sox. It was a rare football day with the Giants and Jets both winning in overtime. Daniel Jones threw for a career-high 402 yards to lead the Giants to a 27-21 victory over the Saints. Zach Wilson led the Jets, throwing for 297 yards in a 27-24 win over the Titans.

2021 US Open with Dan DeRosalia. Jets and Giants lose. Mets and Yankees get mad

A week ago, three Mets players were embroiled in controversy for their thumbs-down gesture to mock their own fans. Two of those players involved -- Javier Baez and Francisco Lindor -- led the team to seven straight wins to jump back into the NL East race. The Yankees went from a 13-game winning streak to 2-6 in their last eight games. The slump seemingly has ended any chance they had to catch first-place Tampa Bay. Over at the US Open, teenagers are making a splash and upsets have been happening, as Naomi Osaka and Ashleigh Barty both were eliminated.

We discovered on Sunday that Mets players Francisco Lindor, Javier Baez and Kevin Pillar were giving a thumbs-down gesture in response to fans booing them. It's never a good idea to take on the fans, especially for Lindor, who signed a 10-year, $341 million contract in the spring to be the face of the Mets. The Yankees ran their winning streak to 13 games before it was broken by Oakland. But during that span, the Bombers gained just three games on the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. In soccer, Lionel Messi made his debut with PSG, Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur took over first place in the Premier League.

The Yankees are one of the hottest teams in baseball, putting together a nine-game winning streak that has them 20 games over .500 in in control of the American League wildcard race. With his team struggling, Mets owner Steve Cohen criticized his team's hitting via Twitter. The Mets are 2-8 in their last 10 games as the Atlanta Braves have taken a commanding lead in the NL East. Jets QB Zach Wilson was outstanding, going completing nine of 11 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-14 win over the Green Bay Packers. Former Rangers great Rod Gilbert died at 80.

The Yankees thought they had produced a stunning comeback in the Field of Dreams game, but Tim Anderson homered off Zack Britton to give the White Sox a 9-8 victory. But the Yankees won the next two games to win the series and are 12-4 in their last 16 games. The Mets continue to stumble, getting swept by the Dodgers over the weekend. The Jets and Giants played a lackluster exhibition game, though Jets quarterback Zach Wilson looked good, going 6-for-9 for 63 yards in two drives. Rob and Tim reviewed the moves the Knicks have made in the offseason, including a shrewd extension of forward Julius Randle and the acquisition of point guard Kemba Walker.
