DETROIT (AP) \u2014 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.<\/p>\n
Down 3-2 after five innings, the Rays scored four times in the sixth and Caminero led off the seventh with his 22nd homer \u2014 a blast over the Detroit bullpen in left.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The Tigers loaded the bases in the seventh, but Garrett Cleavinger struck out Riley Greene to end the inning.<\/p>\n
Zack Littell (8-7) allowed three runs in 5 2\/3 innings for the Rays.<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
The biggest cheer came after the top of the first inning when the Tigers announced that Zach McKinstry had been selected an All-Star reserve, giving Detroit five representatives. The Tigers last had six in 2013.<\/p>\n
Key stat<\/p>\n
Detroit’s Gleyber Torres doubled in the fourth to extend his on-base streak to 22 games \u2014 the longest active streak in the majors. It matched his career high, done twice for the New York Yankees, most recently last August.<\/p>\n
