Tampa Bay’s Junior Caminero hits a home run for the fifth consecutive game and the Rays defeat the Kansas City Royals 10-4 in the teams’ series opener. Caminero’s three-run homer helps power a six-run second inning, a frame that Tampa Bay uses to build a decisive lead. He sends a pitch from Royals starter Noah Cameron over the left-field wall, extending his season total to 23 home runs. The two-game stretch highlighted by the homer streak also reflects recent form: Caminero has eight homers in his last seven games. Earlier on Tuesday, the 22-year-old third baseman announces he will take part in the All-Star Home Run Derby. He previously finished second in last year’s derby to Seattle’s Cal Raleigh. The combined scoring advantage gives the Rays room to pull away, while Kansas City falls short despite contributing to the early run total.
