The Tampa Bay Rays beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-1 on Friday night, powered by home runs from Junior Caminero and Cedric Mullins. Caminero hits a three-run homer in the first inning, a 427-foot drive to center that follows a Yandy Díaz walk and a hit-by-pitch to Jonathan Aranda. Zac Gallen is the pitcher who allows both Caminero’s early home run and Mullins’ later score. Mullins connects in the seventh inning to extend Tampa Bay’s lead.
Other reports describe additional games in the same matchup sequence, including a Rays win where Caminero and Aranda each homer to lead Tampa Bay past Arizona 4-2, and a separate game in which Caminero homers again while Jeffrey Rasmussen throws six shutout innings as the Rays sweep the Diamondbacks in a 5-1 decision. Across the sources, the Rays’ offense relies on timely power, with Caminero’s season total noted as reaching 20 home runs, including recent hot streaks.
