Overview
- Rookie catcher Daniel Susac, who went 3-for-3 in his MLB debut, was being interviewed Thursday when teammate Willy Adames dumped orange Powerade that splashed reporter Kylen Mills’ laptop.
- Video from multiple angles showed the device get drenched and bend backward on its stand as Mills reacted to the hit on the broadcast set.
- Mills posted on X soon after, writing that her laptop was “cooked,” and NBC Sports accounts shared clips of the soaking.
- By Friday, Mills told SFGATE the computer dried overnight, turned on in the morning, and appears to be working again.
- Mills said the Giants offered to replace the machine right away, and she joked she will bring a poncho for the next postgame show, highlighting the risk that celebratory douses pose to gear placed near on-field interviews.
