MLB reporter Kylen Mills catches costly crossfire in Giants’ Gatorade bath

It’s a tale as old as time: liquids and electronics never mix, and an MLB reporter covering a San Francisco Giants game found that out firsthand.

On Thursday night, the Giants took on and defeated the New York Mets, 7-2, and the game saw a successful starting debut from rookie catcher Daniel Susac.

Susac knocked in three singles in a 3-for-3 night that also included a walk.

And, after the game, he was the recipient (and victim) of a Gatorade bath from his teammate that left the first-year catcher absolutely drenched.

Sadly, there was some collateral damage in the process of that Gatorade bath, as MLB and NBC Sports reporter Kylen Mills was interviewing the rookie at the time and both Mills and her laptop got hit, with the electronic device definitely getting it worse than Mills.

“My laptop is cooked,” Mills wrote after the video went viral.

The player responsible for dousing Susac is Giants infielder Willy Adames. It looks like he owes Mills a new laptop, but he shouldn’t have any issues buying her one with his salary.

This video from the Giants gives us a better angle of Kylen Mills’ reaction to the waterfall of Gatorade that rained down on her and Daniel Susac.

And this photo is awesome.

This wasn’t the only viral moment from Susac’s big night.

The Giants catcher’s family was in attendance and was rightly going wild over Susac’s success, which quickly grabbed the attention and hearts of everyone watching the broadcast.

However, one of the children who was with Susac’s family was not having as much fun amidst all the hoopla.

Daniel Susac living up to the hype so far

Daniel Susac played his college ball at Arizona before leaving after two years. He was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in 2022 at No. 19 overall and landed a $3.5 million contract with the team.

Despite showing a ton of promise and smashing 18 home runs in Triple-A, the Athletics decided not to protect him on their 40-man roster during the offseason.

That allowed the Minnesota Twins to scoop Susac up in the Rule 5 Draft, but Minnesota did not keep him, either, after the Twins traded the young catcher to the Giants for fellow catching prospect Miguel Caraballo.

Susac entered spring training in a competition for the backup catcher job, and the youngster managed to win the job, paving the way for his first Major League start on Thursday night.

It didn’t take Susac long to get going, as he singled on the very first pitch that came his way from Mets starter Daniel Peterson, something he went on to do once again in his second at-bat.

When it was all said and done, Susac became the first Giants players since 2006 to reach base four times in his first MLB start.

Now, he just needs to work on his awareness and footwork so he can better avoid getting drenched by future Gatorade baths — and Mills should probably join him.
