Even with the home run that wasn't, Junior Caminero and the Rays' offense finally break through in ALCS Game 4
In Tampa Bay's victory to tie the series, Caminero finally found the big swing he’d been looking for.
CLEVELAND — Junior Caminero, the Tampa Bay Rays' star player, was seeking his first significant postseason moment as the Rays were down 2-1 to the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS. Caminero had struggled in his previous two games, striking out four times and driving in only one run. However, in Game 4, he finally found his swing.
His third at-bat against right-hander Daniel Espino resulted in a home run, driving in teammate Jonathan Aranda and tying the game at 2-2. The 23-year-old's record-breaking 110.7 mph hit was not only a personal redemption but also a crucial factor in the Rays' 7-3 victory that evened the series.
