Caminero, who turned 22 on July 5, leads all American League third basemen in homers during a breakout season. He is hitting .254 with 58 RBIs for the Rays, who moved within four games of first-place Toronto in the AL East on Wednesday night.

Junior Caminero hit his 22nd home run of the season when the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, achieving a feat only seen four other times across MLB history.

The Rays are sending a third slugging infielder to the All-Star Game. Third baseman Junior Caminero will join first baseman Jonathan Aranda and second baseman Brandon Lowe at the Midsummer Classic in Atlanta,
