Junior Caminero ended Friday night's game with a home run. The ball cleared the fence against the Houston Astros. That hit secured a postseason berth for the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays defeated Atlanta 7-2 earlier in the same week. That contest took place on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Caminero also took part in a youth baseball benefit put on by Suncoast Credit Union. The New York Times asked whether he belongs among the game's all-time greats. The Rays move on to their next game. They continue playing.
