Caitlin Clark's feverishly hot rookie campaign in the WNBA keeps getting better.

The league's No. 1 overall pick recorded a double-double for the fifth game in a row, and for the sixth time in seven games, as the Indiana Fever got a 95-86 win on Friday over the Phoenix Mercury.

Clark dropped 20 points and handed out 13 assists, tying a career-high that she has notched four times, all during her last seven contests.

It was also the third-straight game where Clark had 13 assists. In her last seven games, she's averaging 18.3 points and 11.7 assists.

After starting the season 3-10, the Fever have now won seven of their last 11 games — but this one was almost a brutal collapse.

The Fever led by 31 points with 1:38 to go in the third quarter before the Mercury went on a 31-4 run to cut that deficit to just four points with 3:12 to go in the ballgame.

However, Indiana survived by going on a 10-5 run to end it, which included Clark's final two assists.

This comes on the precipice of Clark earning the most votes for next Saturday's All-Star Game — she was the only player to garner over 700,000 votes. Her Fever teammate, Aaliyah Boston, was second, while A'ja Wilson was third.

Perhaps Clark saw Angel Reese's (ongoing) streak of 14-straight double-doubles, which is an all-time league record. Reese earned the fifth-most votes, and she and Clark are the only two rookies to be voted All-Stars.

The Fever head to Minnesota to take on the Lynx on Sunday, and their final game before the month-long Olympic break will be on Wednesday against the Dallas Wings.

An old AL East rivalry was reheated Friday night as the benches cleared between the Yankees and Orioles in the bottom of the ninth.

Yankees closer Clay Holmes hit Heston Kjerstad in the head with a 96.8 mph sinker, which didn't do much sinking, on an 0-2 pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Kjerstad was quickly tended to by trainers and his manager, Brandon Hyde, but, given the frightening situation, Hyde was red-hot and had some words with Holmes and catcher Austin Wells.

Third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera and an umpire held Holmes back before anything could happen, but only temporarily.

After Kjerstad reached first (he was pinch-ran for), Hyde walked back toward the field and was yelling in the direction of the Yankees dugout — it appeared he was yelling at third base coach Luis Rojas, who was snapping right back.

Wells did his best to hold Hyde back, but he couldn't do much, as both teams met right near home plate, and the bullpens came sprinting from the outfield.

There was some light pushing and shoving that ensued, but no player was ejected (other than Hyde), and no punches were thrown — so, it wasn't quite their brawl from 1998.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he understood why Hyde was upset, noting that Hyde should have his players' backs — Hyde, though, said the Yankees bench was "waving" and "yelling" at him, which he "didn't appreciate."

Hyde said he "heard some stuff" when he was walking back to the dugout, which led to his reaction.

He added Hjerstad was getting tested. "We're hoping for the best," he said.

This has been brewing for quite a bit, though — the Yankees have hit Orioles batters 10 times this season, while the O's have done so just three times.

The Yankees, who own MLB's worst record since June 13, held on to the much-needed 4-1 win, cutting their deficit for the division lead to just two games — the O's are now 3-5 against the Yanks this season.

Reigning Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole had his best start of this season as he tossed six strong innings of one-run, five-hit, seven-strikeout ball.

The division race seems to be between these two teams for the rest of the season, and judging by Friday night, it's going to be fun the rest of the way.

They'll be back in action at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
