Game Summary
Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Atlanta Braves 7-1. The Rays won behind a four-homer attack and steady pitching that limited Atlanta to one run and five hits. Junior Caminero, Liam Hicks and Yandy Díaz each delivered long balls while Richie Palacios added a ninth-inning homer to cap the scoring; Victor Mesa Jr. contributed a two-hit effort with an RBI. Freddy Peralta earned the win, working six innings and allowing one earned run on five hits with a walk and two strikeouts. Tampa Bay's bullpen finished with three scoreless innings (Cole Sulser, Kevin Kelly and Bryan Baker), and the three-run third inning — Hicks' two-run shot followed by Mesa's RBI — turned a 1-1 game into a comfortable lead.
