坦帕湾光芒队三垒手小卡米内罗（Junior Caminero）兑现了给母亲的承诺，在母亲生日当天击出一支追平比分的全垒打，并由此掀起了九局上半的三分攻势，最终帮助球队以5-3战胜芝加哥白袜队。这场胜利使光芒队完成了系列赛横扫，并取得六连胜。小卡米内罗在保证率球场（Guaranteed Rate Field）的这记关键一击，助推坦帕湾光芒队以11胜7负的战绩占据美联榜首。
周四上午，小卡米内罗给远在多米尼加共和国的母亲尤迪（Yeudy）发去短信，承诺要在她生日当天打出一支全垒打。几小时后，在九局上半光芒队以2-3落后的情况下，他面对白袜队终结者塞兰托尼·多明格斯（Seranthony Domínguez）兑现了诺言。这位22岁的球员轰出一记飞向左外野、飞行距离达375英尺的沉球全垒打，将比分扳成3-3平。这是他连续第二场比赛打出全垒打，而在此前，尽管他的上垒率高达.351，但整个赛季仅有两支全垒打入账。他将状态回升归功于打击教练查德·莫托拉（Chad Mottola）对他在打击练习笼中进行的动作调整。“赛前我就告诉她：‘我会为你打出一支全垒打，’”卡米内罗说道。“这对我有特别的意义。”
