<p>TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — All-Star Home Run Derby runner-up Junior Caminero went deep twice, Yandy Díaz hit a grand slam and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 11-1 on Friday night to snap a four-game losing streak.</p>
<p>Caminero lost to MLB home-run leader Cal Raleigh in Monday's Derby but started the second half of the season with his 24th and 25th homers of the season, his second career multihomer game.</p>
<p>He hit a three-run shot in the first then followed Díaz's slam with a solo homer in a six-run sixth.</p>
<p>Díaz's homer was his 15th and his second career slam. Danny Jansen added his 10th homer.</p>
<p>Caminero, Díaz and Chandler Simpson had three hits each. Simpson extended his MLB-best active hitting streak to 17 games.</p>
<p>Taj Bradley (6-6) threw six shutout innings, giving up three hits and one walk while fanning six. In his six previous career starts against Baltimore he was 1-3 with an 8.65 ERA.</p>
<p>Tampa Bay's Brandon Lowe was reinstated from the injured list, started at second base and went 1 for 4.</p>
<p>Charlie Morton (5-8) gave up seven runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out four. He came in 5-0 in his previous 11 appearances since May 10, including eight starts, with a 2.61 ERA.</p>
<p>Gunnar Henderson had a triple, a double and scored the Orioles' lone run in the ninth.</p>
<p>Key moment</p>
<p>Simpson doubled in the first before Díaz walked. Caminero followed with his 439-foot homer to left and the Rays were on their way to the easy win.</p>
