On Tuesday, Brewers outfielder Khris Davis told reporters that he had received a death threat on Twitter. The team handed the matter over to the league and the threat was subsequently investigated. Davis said the comments were a "distraction," which is certainly understandable -- especially due to the fact that the threat included a comment about his family.

Apparently, Davis was able to shake it off. He hit a solo homer in the bottom of the fourth inning of Tuesday’s game, his eighth of the season.
Khris Davis has more home runs than Chris Davis this year. #Brewers
