The 23-year-old has driven in 11 runs, including eight in his past four games, and is batting .300 overall.</p> </section><section id="section-4"> <p>Washington has its own outfielder on a hot streak. James Wood had two hits and homered in his third straight game — a career first — for the Nationals on Tuesday. He also scored three runs, bringing his season total to 11.</p> </section><section id="section-5"> <p>St. Louis’ Michael McGreevy (0-1, 2.53 ERA) will oppose fellow right-hander Miles Mikolas (0-2, 14.46) in the series finale.</p> </section><section id="section-6"> <p>Mikolas, signed by Washington as a free agent in the offseason, played seven of the past eight seasons with the Cardinals, going 68-69 with a 4.16 ERA. He missed 2020 due to injury. </p> </section><section id="section-7"> <p>He has had a rough beginning to 2026. After allowing six runs (four earned) in his first outing, a 10-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs on March 28, he was shellacked for 11 runs on 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings by the Los Angeles Dodgers in Washington’s home opener last Friday. The Dodgers hit four home runs off of him in their 13-6 victory.</p> </section><section id="section-8"> <p>“Knowing Miles, the competitor he is, he was frustrated by it,” Nationals manager Blake Butera said of Mikolas’ start against the Dodgers. “But he’ll be fine. He’ll flush it, he’ll make his adjustments and we’ll fix this.”</p> </section><section id="section-9"> <p>Before joining the Cardinals, Mikolas pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief against them while with the San Diego Padres in 2012.</p> </section><br/><section id="section-10"> <p>McGreevy tossed six shutout innings in a no-decision against the Tampa Rays in his first start on March 28, a 6-5 win in 10 innings. Last Friday, he took a 4-0 loss against the Detroit Tigers, giving up three runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings.</p> </section> <section id="section-11"> <p>According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, McGreevy worked on his hip movement leading up to that start in an effort to regain some lost velocity compared to 2025.</p> </section><section id="section-12"> <p>McGreevy never has faced the Nationals.</p> </section><section id="section-13"> <p>On Tuesday, Nathan Church hit a game-tying, two-run homer in the eighth inning for the Cardinals as they improved to 3-0 in extra inning games. Run-scoring doubles by Thomas Saggese and JJ Wetherholt in the 10th inning led to the win. </p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>“They’re not gonna give in,” Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said of his team. “They’re going to play hard regardless of score, situation. I’m proud of these dudes for continuing to do that.”</p> </section><section id="section-15"> <p>Church snapped an 0-for-22 skid with his crucial home run.</p> </section><section id="section-16"> <p>“Just something over the plate and put a good swing on it,” he said. “That’s really all I was trying to do — simplify.”</p> </section><section id="section-17"> <p>Washington’s bullpen squandered a lead for the third straight game, though the Nationals came back to win on Monday. Washington relievers allowed five runs and six walks in 5 1/3 innings Tuesday.</p> </section><section id="section-18"> <p>“We want to win every night, and our offense is doing a tremendous job of putting up runs every single night,” Butera said. “I know our pitching is going to come along.

You’ll be seeing plenty of both guys as the season goes on.”</p> </section><section id="section-9"> <p>Susac was a Rule 5 Draft pick in the offseason by the Minnesota Twins out of the Athletics’ organization. He later was traded to the Giants. He saw an opportunity with them and worked on his approach.</p> </section><section id="section-10"> <p>“A lot of it has to do with offseason changes I made,” Susac said. “Just being a lot calmer at the plate, smooth, seeing the ball a little better.</p> </section><section id="section-11"> <p>“Growing up, my strength was the opposite side of the field. So getting back to that … taking what they give me as well.”</p> </section><br/><section id="section-12"> <p>Philadelphia had just four hits in Tuesday’s loss, and the defense had issues in the fifth inning.</p> </section> <section id="section-13"> <p>Star shortstop Trea Turner fumbled a grounder that appeared to be a double play. Later in the inning, left fielder Otto Kemp’s reaction time was slow as Matt Chapman’s RBI double sailed over his head.</p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>“Hindsight, I wish I would have tried to beat the ball to the spot,” Kemp said. “Better chance to make that play rather than trying to jump up.”</p> </section><section id="section-15"> <p>Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto exited in the bottom of the first inning due to a bruised right foot. He was hit with a foul ball off the bat of San Francisco’s Rafael Devers.</p> </section><section id="section-16"> <p>“X-rays were negative,” Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson said. “We’ll re-evaluate (Wednesday).”</p> </section><section id="section-17"> <p>Thomson said Rafael Marchan will start at catcher on Wednesday.

Both France and Norway won their opening matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Those two teams can book a spot in the knockout rounds on Monday, but it is possible that the winner of Group I comes down to the heavyweight bout between those two side in the final match of group play.

Here are the scenarios in Group I ahead of the second set of matches in group play at the 2026 World Cup.

Update: With the win over Iraq, France has clinched a spot in the knockout round.

Update: With the win over Senegal, Norway has clinched a spot in the knockout round.

What are the Group I standings?

Here are the standings in Group I after the two matches scheduled for Monday, June 22.

Team	W	L	GF	GA	GD	Points
France	2	0	6	1	+5	6
Norway	2	0	7	3	+4	6
Senegal	0	2	3	6	-3	0
Iraq	0	1	1	7	-6	0

What are the next Group I matches?

Here is the schedule for the remaining matches in Group I play. All times listed are Eastern.

France 3, Iraq 1
Norway 3, Senegal 2

Norway vs. France, 3:00 p.m.
Senegal vs. Iraq, 3:00 p.m.

What are the Group I scenarios?

Here are the scenarios in Group I, ahead of the two matches set for June 22. Note, the winner of Group I likely comes down to the match between Norway and France on June 26.

France clinches a spot in the Round of 32 with a win over Iraq, provided Senegal does not beat Norway.

Norway clinches a spot in the Round of 32 with a win over Senegal, provided Iraq does not beat France.

Neither side can clinch the knockout round this week, nor can either side be eliminated. These two teams play each other in the final match of group play, and a win for either team would keep them in the running for a spot in the Round of 32 as a third-place team.

Now we get to the tiebreaker scenarios that come into play with Group I.

Here is how tiebreakers work at the World Cup this year. If two or more teams in the same group are equal on points following the group stage, a three-step process will be followed to determine tiebreakers.

In the first step, the greatest number of points in the group matches between the tied teams will be applied. Then, the superior goal difference from the group matches between the tied teams will be applied, and finally, the greatest number of goals scored in all group matches between the tied teams will be applied.

If that cannot determine a tiebreaker, then the teams that are still equal will advance to step two. In this stage, the first step is the goal difference in all group matches, then the greatest number of goals in all group matches, and finally the highest team conduct score (relating to yellow and red cards) will be applied.

If that does not break the tie, then the teams still equal on points will be ranked according to the most recent FIFA World Rankings.

That first step, which reads “greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned” according to FIFA, effectively turns into a head-to-head tiebreaker in the case of ties between two teams.

That leads us to why Norway nor France can clinch the group on Monday. With those two teams playing each other in the final set of matches, there is still a path for both teams to win the group. Let’s use this hypothetical: Norway beats Senegal, but Iraq shocks the world and beats France. In that scenario Norway would have six points, and both Iraq and France would have three. Iraq would own the tiebreaker over France due to the head-to-head win.

But then in the final set of matches, France beats Norway, and Senegal beats Iraq. France and Norway would each have six points, but France would win the group because of the head-to-head tiebreaker with Norway given the win over them.

That is why the winner of Group I very likely comes down to the final set of matches.

Also, at the moment Norway leads the group ahead of France, due to goal differential.
