Overview
- Tampa Bay defeated Arizona 6-1 on Friday, June 26, at Tropicana Field after Junior Caminero’s three-run homer erased an early Geraldo Perdomo solo shot.
- Corbin Carroll recorded the 53rd triple of his career in the first inning to break the Diamondbacks’ franchise record previously held by Stephen Drew.
- Zac Gallen’s start was pushed into the series opener by a rainout and he struggled early but then settled, retiring a long stretch of batters before Tucson gave up late runs.
- The Diamondbacks have made 12 roster moves since June 21 and activated Max Kepler on June 25 while roughly 10 players remain on various injured lists.
- Several Arizona players from Venezuela said their families were safe after the June 24 earthquakes and the club will turn to Jose Cabrera and Merrill Kelly in the next two games of the series.
