Tampa Bay Rays rookie Junior Caminero is making MLB history by becoming the youngest player since at least 1900 to hit a home run in six consecutive games. Multiple outlets report that the streak continues as Caminero adds another homer during his current run, extending the six-game sequence.
In one described performance, Caminero hits a 425-foot home run to left field in the first inning off Kansas City Royals right-hander Seth Lugo. The homer is reported as his 24th of the season. Overall coverage also notes that Caminero has eight home runs in his past six games, underscoring the pace of his current stretch.
The reports consistently emphasize both the qualifying milestone—six straight games with a home run—and the historical context, stating that he is the youngest to reach that feat in MLB history dating back at least to 1900. The coverage frames the achievement as a statistical record tied to consecutive-game power rather than other aspects of his play during the period.
