Junior Caminero hit two home runs and Ian Seymour struck out eight over five scoreless innings in his first major league start, lifting the visiting Tampa Bay Rays to a 9-0 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night.

Cleveland, which took its sixth loss in a row, was shut out for a third straight game for the first time since June 12-14, 1991.

Caminero hit a two-run shot in the fifth and a solo blast in the seventh, giving him 39 on the season. The All-Star third baseman went 4-for-5 with a single, double and four runs.

Seymour (2-0) was magnificent after making his first 12 appearances as a reliever, allowing one hit and one walk in a 67-pitch outing. The left-hander kept the Guardians guessing with his unorthodox delivery and setup on the third base side of the rubber.
