junior caminero homers scores twice to help the rays end the tigers winning streak

First-time All-Star Junior Caminero homered and scored twice and the Tampa Bay Rays beat Detroit 7-3 on Wednesday to end the major league-leading Tigers' winning streak at five games.

Down 3-2 after five innings, the Rays scored four times in the sixth and Caminero led off the seventh with his 22nd homer - a blast over the Detroit bullpen in left.

The Rays broke it open against reliever Chase Lee in the sixth. With two out and a runner on second, Lee replaced Brant Hurter 4-1 and allowed four straight run-scoring hits, including doubles by Ha-Seong Kim and Danny Jansen.

The Tigers loaded the bases in the seventh, but Garrett Cleavinger struck out Riley Greene to end the inning.

Zack Littell 8-7 allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings for the Rays.
