Junior Caminero exits Game 4 of the World Series with apparent injury
The Rays won Game 4, 4-3, in the 12th inning to stay alive in the World Series
In Game 4 of the World Series, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero left the game with what appeared to be an injury. The Rays were down 3-2 against the Milwaukee Brewers when Caminero started the bottom of the 12th inning with a routine ground ball. He reached first base after a short-hop from Joey Ortiz, who committed an error.
Caminero remained safe at first, but he appeared to limp afterward. Despite staying in the game initially, he was replaced by a pinch runner, Cedric Mullins. Mullins eventually scored on a single by Jonny DeLuca, tying the game at 3-3. This crucial run proved to be a turning point in the series. Tampa Bay went on to win the game in a walk-off fashion, thanks to back-to-back singles by Chandler Simpson and Ben Williamson.
This victory marked the first-ever win for the Rays in the series and ended Milwaukee's nine-game postseason winning streak. The Rays forced a Game 5 on October 28, with the Brewers reliever Shane Drohan pitching all four batters in the bottom of the 12th inning, all of whom singled.
