The Rays have four honorees - the first for Caminero, second for Aranda, and third for McClanahan and B.Lowe. Aranda and B.Lowe will make up the right side of the infield for the AL starting lineup.
Meanwhile, B.Lowe and Caminero were also selected to participate in the Home Run Derby, but unfortunately matched up against each other in the opening round. Here's how it went:
Junior edged his teammate in the opening round, then had the worst round of anybody in the second, losing to eventual winner Austin Riley. I suspect he had the worst round because I actually decided to watch it.
The game:
Hilariously OOTP had the game played at Sutter Health Park, the minor league stadium in Sacramento being temporarily used by the A's. I guess if we could have the World Series played last year at Steinbrenner Field, why not the ASG here? Anyway Rays starters Lowe and Aranda each drove in a run, Lowe with a single, and Caminero was 0-1 in a pinch-hit appearance.
