ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Junior Caminero hit a three-run homer in the first inning, Cedric Mullins connected in the seventh — both off Zac Gallen — and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-1 on Friday night.

Caminero hit a 427-foot shot to center in the first after Yandy Díaz walked and Jonathan Aranda was hit by a pitch. Caminero has 20 homers this season, five in the last four games.

In the seventh, Mullins had a solo shot for his seventh of the year. Gallen (3-7) pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing five earned runs.

Nick Martinez (7-2) pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up five hits but only one earned run. He struck out three and walked one.

Geraldo Perdomo hit a solo home run on the seventh pitch of the game for the Diamondbacks.
