Rays shut out Guardians

CLEVELAND (AP) — Junior Caminero homered twice and drove in three runs, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the slumping Cleveland Guardians 9-0 Monday.

Yandy Diaz also connected for Tampa Bay, and Carson Williams had two hits and two RBIs in his third major league game. The Rays finished with 14 hits in their third consecutive win.

Tampa Bay left-hander Ian Seymour (2-0) struck out eight in five innings in his first career start. He allowed one hit and walked one.

Cleveland has dropped six straight and nine of 10 overall. It has been shut out in its last three games.

Caminero, who turned 22 in July, had four hits and scored four times. He has 39 homers on the season.

Díaz hit a 384-foot solo homer in the seventh, ending Tanner Bibee’s start. After a brief rain delay, Caminero hit his second homer, and Williams added a two-run double.

Bibee (9-10) was charged with five runs and eight hits in six-plus innings. He has allowed four or more runs in five of his seven starts since the All-Star break.
