Baker Mayfield shotguns a beer and helps the Indians take the lead, a breakdown
What Happened
Cleveland Indians pitcher Adam Plutko is in a pitchers' duel, working to hold on to a shutout against the Los Angeles Angels. Plutko gets Andrelton Simmons to ground out, exhaling deeply as he escapes the inning. The camera pans to the stands, where Cleveland quarterback Baker Mayfield is seated. Mayfield, known for his signature mustache, is casually drinking a Miller Lite beer. Suddenly, Mayfield grabs the beer and proceeds to shotgun it, chugging the contents in one swift motion. His enthusiastic celebration, complete with a double thumbs-up, elicits laughter and excitement from those around him in the luxury suite. The game remains a scoreless affair until the bottom of the ninth inning. Francisco Lindor, a star shortstop for the Indians, steps up to the plate. Just moments after Mayfield's beer-chugging spectacle, Lindor crushes a three-run home run, breaking up the no-hitter and giving the Indians a 3-0 lead. The crowd erupts in cheers, with Mayfield leading the celebrations from the stands. Jason Kipnis, the veteran second baseman for the Indians, follows Lindor's heroics with a solo home run of his own, extending the lead to 4-0. Yasiel Puig, the Indians' newly acquired outfielder, joins in the fun, his signature red mohawk visible as he rounds the bases. Lindor, still buzzing from his game-changing home run, returns to the plate and hits another three-run shot, making the score 7-0 in favor of the home team. Mayfield, ecstatic at the turn of events, continues to revel in the moment, high-fiving and congratulating his fellow Cleveland sports icon. The Indians' bats have come alive in a dramatic fashion, transforming a scoreless pitchers' duel into a lopsided victory. Mayfield's infectious enthusiasm and Lindor's power display have electrified the crowd and turned the game on its head. As the final outs are recorded, the Cleveland faithful erupt in celebration, reveling in the team's comeback and Mayfield's memorable beer-chugging cameo.
