losing the first two<\/a> in their weekend visit to Angel Stadium. Ben Williamson connected early for his second career homer.<\/p>\nCedric Mullins drew a leadoff walk from Sam Bachman (1-1) before Caminero hit his 15th home run to left field, ending his 10-game homer drought. Hunter Feduccia added an RBI single before Mesa hit his third career homer off Bachman, who hadn’t allowed a homer since May 5.<\/p>\n
Donovan Walton hit his first homer for the Angels, whose four-game winning streak ended. Last-place Los Angeles had won five of six during the best stretch of its dismal season, winning both of its home series this week.<\/p>\n
Angels starter Grayson Rodriguez left the game with low back tightness in the third inning after 47 pitches.<\/p>\n
Kevin Kelly (4-2) pitched two scoreless innings in a Rays bullpen game. Garrett Cleavinger escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the eighth created by Craig Kimbrel, who walked two and hit a batter with a pitch in the veteran reliever’s third appearance for Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n
Chandler Simpson had a two-run single for Tampa Bay in the third, and Williamson added his first homer in a Rays uniform in the fourth for a 3-1 lead.<\/p>\n
Angels outfielder Wade Meckler left in the fifth inning after crashing into the wall while trying to catch Williamson\u2019s homer.<\/p>\n
Walton connected in the fifth for his first major league homer since 2024 and only the fifth of his seven-year career. Jo Adell poked a tying single through the infield moments later.<\/p>\n
