Josh Naylor delivered a walk-off grand slam for his Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night, but you wouldn’t know it based on his reaction in a postgame interview.
Naylor’s Diamondbacks beat the visiting Seattle Mariners 8-4 in 11 innings at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. Naylor was facing Carlos Vargas with the bases loaded and one out, and he smashed a 1-2 pitch into right-center field for a grand slam to end the game. Naylor took his sweet time going around the bases before making it home for the win.

After the game, Naylor was interviewed by the Diamondbacks’ TV partner after the game. Teammate Geraldo Perdomo dumped some water on him during the interview, and Naylor did not look peased at all.

What’s Naylor’s deal? Does he just not like getting water dumped on him? He had a similar reaction when a teammate did that to him in Cleveland.
Don't overthink the video below. That's just Josh Naylor's personality. No issue here—he might just be a serious guy or simply doesn't like water dumped on him. https://t.co/SHjUm5WxWF pic.twitter.com/EDR8hzfwMB
