The Rays are on the 27thworld Series Game 4 was reversed and won 4:3 in the 12th inning of overtime, saving itself from the brink of elimination. The series was 1–3 and the Brewers swept it. Junior Caminero felt unwell while running the bases in overtime. Although he left the game early, he was determined to play in the G5. “Even if I break my leg, I’ll play tomorrow.”
The Rays and Brewers battled hard in overtime on the 27th. The Brewers took the lead in the 12th inning and the Rays responded in the second half of the inning. Caminero hit a third-base ground ball and reached base on an error. However, he suffered leg problems while playing bass and displayed a pained expression. After that, he reached third base with two more outs thanks to a hit by his teammate, and was then substituted and left the game.
Caminero was limping due to discomfort in his left leg from running the bases, but tomorrow would also be his last outing for the Rays. When asked about the injury after the game, Caminero said: “Even if I have a broken leg, I will play tomorrow.”
Rays head coach Kevin Cash also said that Caminero would play tomorrow no matter what, “He’ll play tomorrow even if he only uses one leg, and I’ll make sure of it.”
