Rays' Junior Caminero: Swats another walk-off homer
Caminero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the A's.
For the second time in five days, Caminero walked it off for the Rays, this time by getting hold of a 100.4-mph fastball from Elvis Alvarado and driving it the other way to clear the fence in the right-field corner. Caminero is up to 41 homers on the season, first in the American League and third in the majors behind the Phillies' Kyle Schwarber (45) and the Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong (42), and the 23-year-old needs four more RBI to reach 100 for the second straight year.

The blast was his 39th homer of the season, moving him into sole possession of the AL lead, and it was the second-longest home run of his career.

Caminero now has three multi-hit games already in the month of September. After benefitting from hitter-friendly George M. Steinbrenner Field for home games in 2025, the All-Star third baseman has shown no ill effects from Tampa Bay moving back to pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field in 2026. He's slashing a robust .281/.365/.532 with 38 homers, 91 RBI and 87 runs scored across 620 plate appearances.

Rays' Junior Caminero: Homers again Tuesday
Caminero went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 12-4 win over the Athletics.
Caminero opened the scoring in his first plate appearance, taking Mason Barnett deep for a two-run homer. The third baseman has now homered in consecutive games and six times over his last 11 contests, bringing him into a four-way tie for the MLB lead with 35 long balls. Caminero's .277/.369/.554 slash line has all three marks above his career-year performance from last season, and with 35 homers already, he has a legitimate chance to surpass the 45 he launched a year ago.
