WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Junior Caminero hit a three-run homer in an
eight-run eighth inning as the Tampa Bay Rays rallied for a 10-6 victory over
the Athletics on Monday night.
Caminero hit his 34th of the year after Yandy Daz and Jonathan Aranda both
singled to kick off the inning, bringing the Rays within one. Chandler
Simpson's RBI single tied the game, and Taylor Walls hit a two-run single to
give Tampa Bay an 8-6 lead. Daz hit a sacrifice fly and Aranda hit an RBI
single in his second at-bat of the inning to make it 10-6.
Rays reliever Chris Roycroft (1-0) pitched the seventh inning, giving up three
hits and three earned runs. Starter Freddy Peralta pitched the first six
innings, with five strikeouts, three earned runs and a walk.
Daz homered on the second pitch of the game to make it 1-0. The A's responded
with an RBI double by Tyler Soderstrom to tie it, followed by Soderstrom
stealing home later in the inning to make it 2-1.
Zack Gelof hit a solo home run in the fifth inning for the Athletics in his
first game back after being on the injured list with a right knee laceration he
sustained against the Detroit Tigers on July 9. He hit an RBI double in the
seventh inning.
Jeff McNeil hit a sacrifice fly and Jacob Wilson doubled in the seventh to give
the A's a 6-2 lead.
Jose Suarez (1-4) gave up four runs while getting just one out in the eighth,
after Seth Johnson was charged with four runs and failed to record an out.
Jacob Lopez pitched the first seven innings, allowing two runs with five
strikeouts and a walk.
Up next
RHP Nick Martinez (11-3, 2.65 ERA) will start on the mound for the Rays on
Tuesday for the second game of the series. RHP Mason Barnett (1-2, 5.56) will
start for the Athletics.
