Junior Caminero hits three homers as Rays face Royals

Junior Caminero connected on three home runs and drove in six runs during the Tampa Bay Rays' 13-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Tropicana Field on June 25, 2026. The fourth-year slugger increased his on-base percentage to.374 this season, thanks in part to a career-best 45 walks. Caminero's performance included two homers off Royals starter Seth Lugo and another off second baseman Tyler Tolbert. The Rays collectively kept the Royals hitless through eight innings until Carter Jensen broke the bid with a two-run homer in the ninth. This marked the first instance in MLB history of a no-hitter coinciding with a player hitting three home runs in the same game.
