Mat Gamel was finally set to have his moment in the spotlight after Saturday night’s walk-off win over the Yankees, but a reporter accidentally stepped in and took the hit for him — literally.
Gamel scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, after a single by Nelson Cruz drove him in from second base. After the game, when he was getting interviewed by a ROOT SPORTS reporter, his teammates attempted to give him a Gatorade bath.
Unfortunately, they misfired a bit, and the reporter was the one left drenched — not Gamel.
I don't think it's supposed to go like that… @cjzero pic.twitter.com/Dxhj2MshEr

Welp, that was unexpected.
