The Indiana Fever weren't involved in any on-court scuffles following Tuesday night's skirmish with the Connecticut Sun. Officials also had a relatively smooth game amid scrutiny over how they've been calling fouls and allowing hacking among players. On Thursday versus the Golden State Valkyries, the Fever's struggles were of a basketball nature, resulting in an 83-75 defeat at San Francisco's Chase Center.

In the sixth inning, Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick swung and missed at a fastball from Chris Flexen down the middle. But Frelick lost control of the bat and it flew toward the seats, just missing teammate Jackson Chourio in the on-deck circle.

Two weeks into his major-league career, Jac Caglianone has his first home run with the Kansas City Royals. Caglianone, the Royals' top prospect before he was called up on June 3, took Texas Rangers reliever Jacob Latz deep in the second inning to give Kansas City a 2-0 lead. He hit a 95.5 mph fastball high out of the strike zone but down the middle, launching it into the home team's bullpen in right-center field at Globe Life Field. Getting the milestone baseball back likely wasn't a problem.
