A playoff game can change in an instant.

The Cleveland Guardians learned this the hard way in Game 2 of the ALDS when Kerry Carpenter hit a game-winning three-run home run against Cleveland’s best pitcher Emmanuel Clase. They gave the Detroit Tigers a taste of their own medicine in Game 5 when Lane Thomas hit a grand slam off Tarik Skubal.

Watch the home run here:

This is Cleveland’s first postseason grand slam since 2017, when Francisco Lindor hit a grand slam against the New York Yankees. If the Guardians win this game, they will end up playing the Yankees in the ALCS.

Guardians fans experienced a range of emotions in the bottom of the fifth inning. They loaded the bases with a single by Andres Gimenez, a hit by Steven Kwan and an infield hit by David Fry. The Guardians got their first run of the game when Jose Ramirez was hit in the elbow by a pitch with the bases loaded. The game ended 1-1 after Detroit took the lead early in the inning.

After Ramirez was hit, he went back to the dugout and was clearly in a lot of pain. Finally, he shook it off and jogged down to first base as Progressive Field roared with applause. That set up Thomas’ eventual grand slam a few pitches later.

If Cleveland finishes the series, there is a strong case to be made for Thomas to be considered the series MVP. He hit a three-run home run in Game 1 and drove in the first run of Game 4, which Cleveland ultimately won.

It’s safe to assume the Guardians won their trade with the Washington Nationals.
