“AND. IT’S. GONE.”
Those were the words of longtime Detroit Tigers radio play-by-play announcer Dan Dickerson after Kerry Carpenter delivered one of the biggest postseason moments in franchise history.
In a game that felt destined to end in frustration as the Tigers couldn’t get on the board despite a Tarik Skubal masterclass, Kerry Carpenter blasted a three-run home run 423 feet to right field off Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, the best reliever in baseball.
It was a movie-like scene. Top of the ninth inning. Tie game. Best pitcher on the opposing team. Two strikes. Two outs. No-doubter home run.
