DENVER (AP) --- Junior Caminero hit two home runs, Jonathan Aranda had four
hits and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Colorado Rockies 13-9 on Monday night.
Ian Seymour (8-3) allowed two runs on seven hits in six innings for the win. He
struck out nine and walked none.
Tampa Bay was busy at the trade deadline, acquiring catcher Liam Hicks from
Miami and reliever Tyler Wells from Baltimore. The Rays dealt catcher Hunter
Feduccia to the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowing Kenny Piper to make his major
league debut behind the plate.
Piper walked and scored in the second inning and singled in the ninth for his
first career hit.
Tampa Bay scored in each of the first four innings to take control. Caminero
hit a two-run homer in the first and a solo shot in the fourth. Taylor Walls
drove in a pair in a four-run second.
It was Caminero's third multihomer game this season. He leads the team with 32
homers.
Colorado, which traded outfielder Brenton Doyle and pitchers Victor Vodnik and
Antonio Senzatela in separate deals, had its three-game winning streak snapped.
Michael Lorenzen (3-10) was roughed up for seven runs on seven hits in three
innings and left trailing 7-0.
Ezequiel Tovar, who entered batting .198, led off the bottom of the third with
a homer and singled in his next three trips to the plate. He started a four-run
ninth with a single.
Tampa Bay scored two runs in the seventh and one in the eighth before Richie
Palacios hit a two-run homer in the ninth to answer Mickey Moniak's 447-foot
leadoff shot in the eighth.
Up next
RHP Freddy Peralta (5-9, 4.99 ERA), acquired from the New York Mets on Sunday,
will make his Rays debut Tuesday night. Rockies rookie RHP Gabriel Hughes (0-3,
3.33) is slated to make his fifth start of the season.
