Miguel Rojas’s game-tying ninth-inning homer set up Will Smith’s 11th-inning blast. For broadcasters and streamers, it was a dream script: a North American rivalry, superstar cameos, and a finish that kept viewers through every break.

Why sports still anchor the premium ad market
Live sports remain the last appointment TV—delivering simultaneous, high-intent audiences that prestige dramas rarely gather now.
