Before the weekend gets too deep, let’s give it up for Toronto, which was truly the world’s sports hub for a day.

On Friday, Canada’s largest city hosted:

The World Cup

Toronto Stadium (normally BMO Field) was the site of a World Cup game between the host national team and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The home side got behind early, but managed its first-ever point in World Cup play by coming back to finish the contest tied at 1-1.

The big, bad New York Yankees came to Rogers Centre and played in front of a full house on Friday, as the Toronto Blue Jays squared off with their AL East foes. The Jays got out to a 5-0 lead early, weathered a charge from the Yanks, and then pulled away for an 8-5 victory.

The PGA Tour

And of course, the second round of the RBC Canadian Open was held at TPC Toronto. The home fans got to cheer for Canadian Joey Savoie, who made his first career cut at the age of 31.

Other games (CFL, AHL)

Also on Friday, the city’s Canadian Football League team, the Alouettes, saw the return of quarterback Chad Kelly, the nephew of former Buffalo Bills’ great Jim Kelly. The younger Kelly had been out with an injury for nearly two years and made his return under center as Toronto opened the regular season at Montreal. Toronto lost, but Kelly displayed the form that saw him win the league’s Most Outstanding Player Award in 2023.

Also, the city’s minor-league hockey team, the Marlies, opened the Calder Cup finals (the American Hockey League’s championship) with a victory at Chicago.

All around, a fun day to be a sports fan in Toronto.
