CLEVELAND -- He didn't start in the game -- but he helped end it.

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Kerry Carpenter clubbed a go-ahead three-run home run off Cleveland Guardians All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase in the ninth inning of Game 2 of their American League Division Series on Monday to break a scoreless tie.

The blast -- the hardest ball he has hit in his career -- came off a 2-2 slider and evened the best-of-five series at one game apiece.
