Indians star Francisco Lindor is an extremely tough out, as he’s been known to fight off pitches and rarely strikes out.

But he met his match during Sunday’s game against the Twins.

Lindor was in the on-deck circle at the time, when he was ready to take the doughnut off his bat and prepare to hit. The problem was that the doughnut wouldn’t cooperate. He kept shaking the bat, but it wouldn’t come off.

Finally, he just elected to bang the bat off the steps leading to the dugout, and that got the job done.

Game, set, match — doughnut.
