Just put that beer on Justin Upton's tab.

The Detroit Tigers left fielder sent Tyler Duffey's first pitch of the at-bat deep into the second deck to give his team a 3-0 lead in the first inning. On the pitch, it appeared as though Duffey and catcher John Ryan Murphy got their signs crossed up - and they paid for it.

Upton's homer was traveling so fast that it appeared to send one unlucky Minnesota Twins fan's beer flying into the lower deck.

Target Field has the fourth-highest beer prices in baseball, according to Fortune, so that fan might be angrier about having to buy another beer than the Twins' deficit.
