There were a lot of candidates for the Rays player of the series, as it should be when you sweep a division rival. Ryan Pepiot pitched 7 scoreless, Brandon Lowe homered in his third straight game, but Junior Caminero truly showed up to play, essentially batting .500 over the weekend while playing some dazzling defense.
In Game 1 of the series, he picked a difficult hot shot that would have gone through the left side if he weren’t shaded toward short. The quick reaction allowed Junior to start a double play with ease in the fifth, killing the Blue Jays best scoring chance of the night.
