ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Trey Mancini hit a two-run triple to give Los Angeles an early lead, rookie Sam Aldegheri<\/a> tossed five strong innings and Ryan Zeferjahn<\/a> struck out Cedric Mullins<\/a> with the bases loaded in the ninth to help the Angels beat the Tampa Bay Rays<\/a> 4-3 on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Zeferjahn walked Junior Caminero<\/a> on four pitches after replacing Mitch Farris<\/a> with two on and two outs. He struck out Mullins swinging on a 2-2 pitch for his second save, sealing the Angels\u2019 third straight win.<\/p>\n

Aldegheri (2-1) allowed two runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 and three hits with three walks in his second start this season and seventh of his career.<\/p>\n

Mike Trout<\/a> and Jo Adell<\/a> had back-to-back one-out singles off Shane McClanahan<\/a> (6-4) in the first inning and Mancini followed with a two-out triple for a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Oswald Peraza<\/a> led off the third with a double and Nick Madrigal<\/a> drove him in with a two-out single, before stealing second and scoring on Logan O\u2019Hoppe\u2019s single for a 4-0 advantage.<\/p>\n

Aldegheri allowed a hit and walked two in the first inning, then retired 10 straight before walking Chandler Simpson<\/a> to start the fifth. Nick Fortes<\/a> reached on a fielding error by shortstop Zach Neto<\/a> and Taylor Walls<\/a>\u2019 bunt single loaded the bases with no outs.<\/p>\n

Aldegheri struck out Yandy D\u00edaz looking, but Jonathan Aranda<\/a> singled to left to cut it to 4-2. Caminero hit into a double play to end the rally.<\/p>\n

Simpson robbed Adell of a homer in the eighth to keep the Rays within two, and Aranda cut it to 4-3 with a two-out single off Mitch Farris<\/a> before Zeferjahn finished.<\/p>\n

McClanahan gave up four runs and eight hits in four innings, but struck out seven. Mason Englert<\/a> pitched four shutout innings and allowed four hits and two walks.<\/p>\n

U.S. Navy Captain and NASA Artemis II astronaut Victor Glover threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Trout.<\/p>\n
