What happened: Junior Caminero drove a ball off the left-field foul pole at the Trop in ALCS Game 6. The seventh-inning homer marked the first postseason home run of his career. It stretched Tampa Bay's lead to 5-1 in a potential pennant clincher.

Why it matters: Tampa Bay stood one win from its first World Series trip and a first-championship matchup. A clincher sets a World Series where either Tampa Bay or Milwaukee wins its first title. Caminero's emergence adds a middle-order threat for the pennant run.

By the numbers: First career postseason home run for Caminero. ALCS Game 6: Tampa Bay led 5-1 after the seventh-inning blast.

What to watch: Tampa Bay can close out the pennant in Game 6 at home. The winner advances to a World Series with a first championship at stake.
