Junior Caminero hit a two-run home run off Cleveland pitcher Cade Smith in the seventh inning of ALCS Game 6. The swing helped the Tampa Bay Rays defeat Cleveland 7-3 and clinch the American League pennant. It was the first postseason home run for the 23-year-old, who hit 42 home runs in the regular season. During his home-run trot, Caminero looked toward Randy Arozarena in the stands and recreated Arozarena’s crossed-arms celebration. Tampa Bay will face the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series.
