Junior Caminero hit a three-run homer in the first inning Saturday, and the Rays made it stand up in a 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays.
With one out in the first, Jose Lowe walked, Brandon Lowe singled and Caminero took a pitch 387 feet out to left-center. That Rays had just one hit and one walk over the remainder of the contest, but the Jays never caught up. The homer was Caminero’s ninth, and it gave him his first RBI in 11 days. He’s hit just .208/.232/.358 over his last 27 games, but things still figure to get better here.
