Caminero hits tiebreaking homer in 8th and Rays avoid sweep with 8-3 victory
over Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- Junior Caminero hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the
eighth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays avoided a series sweep with an 8-3
victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday.
Victor Mesa Jr. added a two-run homer later in a five-run eighth for the Rays,
who have won four of six despite losing the first two in their weekend visit to
Angel Stadium. Ben Williamson connected early for his second career homer.
Cedric Mullins drew a leadoff walk from Sam Bachman (1-1) before Caminero hit
his 15th home run to left field, ending his 10-game homer drought. Hunter
Feduccia added an RBI single before Mesa hit his third career homer off
Bachman, who hadn't allowed a homer since May 5.
Donovan Walton hit his first homer for the Angels, whose four-game winning
streak ended. Last-place Los Angeles had won five of six during the best
stretch of its dismal season, winning both of its home series this week.
Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez left the game with low back tightness in the
third inning after 47 pitches.
Kevin Kelly (4-2) pitched two scoreless innings in a Rays bullpen game. Garrett
Cleavinger escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the eighth created by Craig
Kimbrel, who walked two and hit a batter with a pitch in the veteran reliever's
third appearance for Tampa Bay.
Chandler Simpson had a two-run single for Tampa Bay in the third, and
Williamson added his first homer in a Rays uniform in the fourth for a 3-1 lead.
Angels outfielder Wade Meckler left in the fifth inning after crashing into the
wall while trying to catch Williamson's homer.
Walton connected in the fifth for his first major league homer since 2024 and
only the fifth of his seven-year career. Jo Adell poked a tying single through
the infield moments later.
Up next Rays: Nick Martinez (6-2, 2.43 ERA) takes the mound Monday night at Dodger Stadium as the Southern California road trip continues. Angels: Walbert Urea (4-4, 2.44 ERA) has made five consecutive outstanding starts going into Monday night at Arizona. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB
