Overview

  • Junior Caminero went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and three RBIs as Tampa Bay beat Cleveland 9-0 at Progressive Field.
  • His season total climbed to 39, tying for the second-most in Rays history and matching Cody Bellinger for fourth-most in a season by a player age 21 or younger after passing Frank Robinson.
  • Left-hander Ian Seymour, moved from the bullpen to a rotation spot, delivered five shutout innings with one hit and eight strikeouts in his first start.
  • Yandy Díaz added his 22nd homer of the season, tying his career high, as both former Cleveland players went deep.
  • Cleveland’s offensive slide worsened to three straight shutouts and a 28-inning scoreless streak, renewing focus on the 2021 trade that sent the then-teenage Caminero to Tampa Bay for Tobias Myers.
