May 24, 2025; Tampa, Florida, USA; Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero (13) celebrates with Tampa Bay Rays second base Brandon Lowe (8) after hitting a three run home run against the Toronto Blue Jays in the first inning at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Mandatory Credit: Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images Junior Caminero belted a three-run homer and Shane Baz tossed 5 2/3 solid innings to fuel the host Tampa Bay Rays to a 3-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
Caminero’s homer in the first inning was his ninth of the season, pulling him into a tie with Brandon Lowe for the team lead. It also was his second in two weeks against the Blue Jays, as his grand slam in the ninth inning on May 13 propelled Tampa Bay to an 11-9 win over Toronto.
Saturday’s early power surge proved to be enough for Baz (4-3), who allowed one run on four hits. He also fanned four and walked three before exiting after 82 pitches.
The performance was a welcome one for Baz, who entered the game with a 0-3 record and 9.61 ERA in four May starts — having allowed 21 earned runs on 30 hits in 19 2/3 innings.
Garrett Cleavinger relieved Baz and joined Manuel Rodriguez in bridging the gap to Pete Fairbanks, who retired the side in the ninth inning to secure his 10th save of the season.
The Rays, who mustered just three hits, have won four in a row — including the first two contests of this three-game series.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered to lead off the sixth inning for the Blue Jays.
Tampa Bay got off to a fast start as Josh Lowe worked a one-out walk in the first inning and advanced to third on Brandon Lowe’s double. They both trotted home after Caminero deposited a 2-1 pitch from Jose Berrios (1-2) over the left-center field wall.
Guerrero chipped into his team’s deficit by sending an 0-1 changeup from Baz over the wall in left-center field. The homer was Guerrero’s seventh of the season and second in the last five games.
Berrios’ winless stretch extended to eight starts despite permitting just three runs on three hits in six innings. He struck out three and walked one.

Knicks vs. Pacers, Game 3: Josh Hart not fazed about possibly losing starting spot
INDIANAPOLIS — Deep in a 2-0 hole against the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 Eastern Conference finals, with their season on the brink, the New York Knicks are strongly considering a change to their struggling starting lineup ahead of Game 3 on Sunday night, according to multiple reports.SNY and ESPN reported Saturday that Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau is considering elevating center Mitchell Robinson into the starting lineup for the first time this postseason and just the fourth time since he returned to the lineup in late February after offseason ankle surgery. Robinson’s insertion would bump Josh Hart to the bench, ending a string of 140 straight appearances in which the do-it-all forward has been part of the starting five.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I've been the 15th man, I've been the third man, I've been the sixth man, I've been whatever,” Hart said at […]

WATCH: Tom Brady greeted by boos from Indianapolis 500 crowd during driver introductions
Imagn Images It seems like Indianapolis still isn't very fond of former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Brady, who was riding in "The Fastest Seat in Sports" ahead of the 2025 Indianapolis 500, was booed during driver introductions Sunday afternoon. Brady, now an analyst for Fox Sports, was introduced alongside NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson, who will be driving the two-seat IndyCar as part of the pre-race festivities, and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Strahan. Brady received the loudest reception, even if it was largely negative. Though the Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts had a nascent feud prior to the 2000s, the rivalry took off when Brady arrived in New England and the Colts drafted quarterback Peyton Manning. With Brady and Manning leading their respective teams, the Patriots and Colts often jostled for dominance in the AFC. Between 2001-10, Brady and Manning met […]
