MLB roundup: Junior Caminero drives in 6 as Rays rout Astros

By MLB Premium News May 30, 2025 | 10:05 AM

Junior Caminero notched a career-high six RBIs, highlighted by a three-run, opposite-field homer that capped a five-run seventh inning, as the Tampa Bay Rays throttled the host Houston Astros 13-3 on Thursday.
Reliver Bryan King had allowed four earned runs all season before the Rays tagged him with five runs on five hits. Tampa Bay improved to 8-1 over its past nine games while Houston fell to 7-2 over its past nine home games.
Caminero added a two-run double in the Rays’ five-run eighth, his third hit. Yandy Diaz, Jonathan Aranda and Jose Caballero recorded two hits each for Tampa Bay. Edwin Uceta (4-1) got the win over Bryan King (3-1).
Houston’s Yainer Diaz and Jose Altuve both homered off Rays starter Shane Baz, who yielded three runs on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Nationals 9, Mariners 3 (10 innings)
Josh Bell hit a three-run homer and Luis Garcia Jr. contributed a two-RBI double in a seven-run 10th inning as Washington won at Seattle.
Daylen Lile’s first career RBI, on a sacrifice fly, brought home the tiebreaking run in the 10th against Collin Snider (1-1). Garcia, who had four hits, just missed a grand slam with a drive off the top of the wall in right field. Bell followed with his blast.
Washington’s Jose A. Ferrer (2-2) pitched 1 2/3 innings of perfect relief. Leody Taveras had three hits and an RBI for the Mariners, who have lost four of five.
Phillies 5, Braves 4 (Game 1)
Rafael Marchan enjoyed a big game on offense and defense as Philadelphia nipped visiting Atlanta in the first game of a day-night doubleheader.
Marchan’s first homer of the season and Kyle Schwarber’s 19th paved the way for the team’s 11th win in 12 games. Marchan was hit by a pitch to force in the decisive run in the bottom of the eighth before he threw out the potential tying run at second base in the ninth.
A.J. Smith-Shawver sustained an elbow injury and left in the third inning for Atlanta, which lost for the sixth time in seven games.
Braves 9, Phillies 3 (Game 2)
Chris Sale pitched six scoreless innings as Atlanta routed host Philadelphia in the nightcap of a split doubleheader.
Austin Riley homered, doubled and drove in four runs for the Braves. Ozzie Albies knocked in three runs and Luke Williams added two RBIs. Sale (3-3) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out eight. His final whiff — against Edmundo Sosa to end the sixth — was the 2,500th of his career.
Phillies starter Zack Wheeler (6-2), who entered with a streak of 22 2/3 scoreless innings, was charged with six runs in 5 1/3 frames.
Blue Jays 12, Athletics 0
Ernie Clement homered and had five RBIs, Jose Berrios struck out nine in six innings and Toronto defeated the visiting Athletics.
Clement had a three-run home run and a two-run double, both in an eight-run second inning, tying the club record for RBIs in one inning. Bo Bichette had a two-run homer and three RBIs, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added a two-run homer and George Springer hit a solo shot.
Berrios (2-2) allowed two hits and two walks while matching his season best in strikeouts. Seven second-inning runs were charged to Athletics starter Jacob Lopez (0-3), who allowed six hits in 1 2/3 innings. The A’s have lost 14 of 15.
