Carlos Gomez was craving real contact.

The struggling Rays right fielder took out his frustration on two separate water coolers in the dugout Wednesday after striking out in the second inning against the Marlins. Gomez first took his bat to a cooler on a ground, smashing the plastic with five consecutive swings, before sending a Gatorade cooler flying with a right-handed punch.

Gomez is having his worst year at the plate since making his major league debut with the Mets in 2007. The speedster is slashing .198/.274/.327 with 73 strikeouts in 69 games after signing a one-year, $4 million contract with Tampa Bay in the offseason.

Gomez, 32, is a career .253 hitter who enjoyed his most productive years with the Brewers (2010-15), appearing in the All-Star Game in ’13 and ’14.
