Fever's Sophie Cunningham appears to be hit by sex toy after lamenting possibility of it happening
Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham appeared to be hit by a projectile sex toy during Tuesday night's game vs. the Los Angeles Sparks. The incident came in the final minutes of the second quarter as the Fever prepared to inbound the ball. It is the third instance of a green sex toy being hurled onto a WNBA court in the past few weeks, in what has become a growing trend. The first came in a game in Atlanta on July 29, and it happened again in Chicago on Aug. 1. Now, the latest incident has also made Cunningham the victim on the same day that she publicly lamented the idea of a player being hit by said object. During Tuesday's episode of her podcast, Cunningham addressed the issue of the objects being hurled onto courts, and speculated what the fallout would look like if a player were hit by one. "I just know how things go viral now, and I just know if that thing like even came from like the rafters or bows and just slap me right in the face, I could never, I could, that would be what I'd be known for life," Cunningham said. "And yeah, it could break a f---in nose." Cunningham said her mom even told her to beware of the possibility of being hit by such an object. "My mom, she goes, instead of like my good luck text, she goes 'watch out for flying d-ldos tonight,'" Cunningham said. To make matters worse for Cunningham and her team, the Fever lost to the Sparks 100-91. Cunningham previously sent a post on X Friday telling fans to end the charade. "Stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us," she wrote. Cunningham made light of the situation by resharing that post after Tuesday's game with the message, "This did not age well." The stunts have even resulted in an arrest. The WNBA announced on Saturday that one of the culprits had been arrested, and there would be further punishments for whoever threw an object onto the playing surface. A 23-year-old is facing charges of disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure, and criminal trespass for hurling one of the items onto a court last week. Delbert Carver was booked into Clayton County jail in Georgia on Saturday for the stunt last Tuesday. Carver's case, according to information online, is currently "pending." He was released from jail late Sunday on bond. "The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans," the WNBA said in a statement. "In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities."

Arráez's go-ahead single sparks 5-run 11th inning, Padres beat Diamondbacks 10-5
PHOENIX (AP) — Luis Arráez had the go-ahead single in the 11th inning, Ramón Laureano added three hits and three RBIs, and the San Diego Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-5 on Tuesday night. Arráez was hitless in five at-bats before hitting a bloop single into short left field, which was enough to score Fernando Tatis Jr. from second base for a 6-5 lead. The Padres would tack on four more runs in the 11th. San Diego has won eight of its past 10 games. Arizona had a three-game winning streak snapped. Arizona's Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit two homers, including one on a 103.9 mph fastball from Mason Miller that made it 5-all in the eighth. It was the hardest hit pitch for a homer since MLB began pitch tracking in 2008. Laureano — who was added from the Baltimore Orioles at last week's trade deadline — had a two-run double in the seventh that gave the Padres a 5-3 lead. The 31-year-old is 8 for 22 at the plate over five games with his new team. D-backs starter Ryne Nelson gave up two runs over 5 2/3 innings, striking out eight. The right-hander left the game with a 3-2 lead and nobody on base in the sixth, but the D-backs bullpen walked four straight batters — three by Kyle Nelson and one by Andrew Hoffmann — to force in the tying run. Gurriel hit a two-run homer in the first to give the D-backs a 2-0 lead. It was his 13th homer of the season and first in more than a month. Key moment San Diego third baseman Jose Iglesias made a great defensive play to end the 10th inning, fielding a ground ball, stepping on third and throwing to first for the double play. Key stat The Padres had six hits in the 11th inning. Up next The Padres send LHP Nestor Cortes (1-1, 9.00 ERA) to the mound to face D-backs RHP Anthony DeSclafani (1-2, 4.91) on Wednesday. ___ AP MLB:

Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez each homer twice, lead Dodgers past Cardinals 12-6
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez each homered twice and Mookie Betts had three hits as the Los Angeles Dodgers shook off their offensive struggles with a 12-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. Muncy, in just his second game following a month-long break due to a bone bruise injury from a collision, went 4 for 5 with four RBIs and three runs scored. In his first game back on Monday, Muncy went 0 for 3 with a walk. Muncy hit his first home run off Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas 416 feet to right field. In the third inning, he hit his homer 404 feet. Hernandez was 4 for 5 with four RBI and two runs scored for the NL West-leading Dodgers. The Dodgers (66-48) had three extra-base hits in the first inning, matching the total number of hits they had against the Cardinals on Monday. They had 17 hits Tuesday. Shohei Ohtani finished with two hits and three runs scored. Nolan Gorman hit a two-run homer in the second inning for the Cardinals. Mikolas (6-9) was chased after three innings after allowing five earned runs. The Cardinals bullpen struggled, too, allowing six earned runs. Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan (3-2), who was called up to be part of a six-man rotation that will last at least one more week, allowed four hits and no runs in five innings. He struck out five and walked one. Key moment Muncy and Hernandez hit back-to-back home runs in the third to give the Dodgers a 5-2 lead. It was the first time the Dodgers had players hit consecutive homers since Ohtani and Betts did it against Arizona on May 18. Key stat Betts doubled in the third to snap a 0 for 22 hitless streak. He finished with three hits and a walk. Up next Cardinals LHP Matthew Liberatore (6-9, 3.96 ERA) will face Dodgers RHP Ohtani (0-0, 2.40), who will make his eighth appearance of the season in a day game Wednesday. ___ AP MLB:
