Miami. The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 at George M. Steinbrenner Field (Tampa), in a game where Cuban Yandy Díaz hit home runs in the first and third innings.

Díaz, 33, has hit his 20th home run of the season and is five shy of reaching the 100-homer mark in his major league career.

A group of four pitchers, including Dominican Edwin Uceta, limited the Dodgers' powerful lineup to six hits and no runs in the contest.

Dominican Junior Caminero, one of the season's biggest revelations, hit his 28th home run with a shot to center field in the bottom of the sixth inning.

The Rays have a 55-57 record, placing them in fourth place in the American League East.

Meanwhile, Dominican Agustín Ramírez was another key player for the Miami Marlins with his sixteenth home run in a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees.

Dominican Eury Pérez pitched six innings, allowing two hits and striking out five.

The Miami Marlins continue their upward trajectory and are one game away from reaching the .500 mark with 54 wins and 55 losses.
