The Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Mets 8-4, bolstered by strong performances from Taylor Walls and Yandy Diaz, who each had two hits and two RBIs. Junior Caminero's leadoff homer in the fourth inning sparked a five-run rally for the Rays, who have won eight of their last eleven games. Despite efforts from the Mets, including home runs by Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio, they couldn't overcome the Rays' offensive onslaught.
