Cleveland Indians fans are rallying around Ryan Merritt after an impactful Game 5 performance by buying out his wedding gift registry. (1:17)

Cleveland Indians fans will be forever grateful for Game 5 starter Ryan Merritt's gutsy performance -- and some fans aren't keeping their gratitude to themselves.

The 24-year-old, despite making just one previous MLB start and being the subject of Toronto Blue Jays star Jose Bautista's infamous comments, threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings in Cleveland's American League Championship Series-clinching win.

Soon after, the wedding registry of Merritt and his fiancée, Sarah Brushaber, was discovered and the rest is history

A brief sampling of the many people who say they purchased a gift for the couple:

@jonahkeri @sportsyelling loved the registry idea but everything (in my budget) was gone so gift card it is! pic.twitter.com/XmDCJH51sP — Chris Urbon (@curbo23) October 20, 2016

"Honestly, we didn't really believe it at first," Sarah told MLB.com. "We just kind of thought it was out there and people knew about it, but it's just unreal. That was just the last thing we expected to come out of this. It's just crazy. Honestly, I can't even comprehend that kind of support. That people not only care about Ryan's career, but care about his personal life, is just unbelievable."
