CLEVELAND — Tie game — hold your breath, something magical is about to happen.
Two outs. Two on. And Kerry Carpenter was facing MLB's preeminent closer is Cleveland Guardians' pitcher Emmanuel Clase.
This was the game. Maybe, the series.
But Carpenter turned on a slider and crushed it 423 feet to right field off. No, he demolished it, hitting a three-run homer to give the Detroit Tigers a dramatic 3-0 win on Monday afternoon in Game 2 of the ALDS at Progressive Field.
What an ending to an amazing game.
