Question 12

Two answers required. Recommended answer format: 'John Smith, X-Y' (with two numbers).

2020-08-19: "As there's a drive into deep left field by [BLANK], it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a [BLANK] ballgame. I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again."

In the second game of a double-header at Kansas City, who led off the fifth inning with that memorably-timed longball and what was the score once he circled the bases?

Like Jesse Winker (yet unlike Joey Votto) this former Tiger represented Cincinnati at the 2021 All Star Game. In the game at hand, the Reds would later tack on another run but we are not asking for the final score. Nor do we want the broadcaster (all quotes in this quiz are from the same person), who as of August 2021 has not in fact put on that headset again. Just the hitter and the score at the time.

Nick Castellanos, 4-0
