Tampa Bay's Junior Caminero rocketed his team-leading 37th homer, a sixth-inning grand slam, to help the Rays pull away from the visiting St. Louis Cardinals in a 7-2 rain-delayed victory on Sunday afternoon.

The All-Star third baseman jumped on reliever Matt Svanson's first pitch and hammered the towering shot 381 feet to right field for his second grand slam this season. The home side scored four times on one hit in the frame for a 5-0 lead.

Christopher Morel was 3-for-4 with a solo homer, while Chandler Simpson had two hits, including a two-RBI triple, plus a run, walk and his 38th stolen base.

In his team-leading 27th start, Ryan Pepiot (9-10) was limited to just 63 pitches in shutting down St. Louis. He fired five scoreless innings of one-hit ball, fanned three and walked one.
