ANAHEIM, Calif. – Tyler Glasnow was fairly confident the Tampa Bay Rays hadn't all forgotten how to hit just one month into the new season after winning the AL pennant last fall.
The Rays are finally getting it together at the plate, and their ace got the benefit. Willy Adames and Manuel Margot homered, Mike Brosseau had a two-run single and the Rays opened a seven-game California road trip with a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.
Glasnow (4-1) pitched six innings of four-hit ball with three walks for the Rays. With 18 family members and friends in the stands at Angel Stadium, the Los Angeles-area native largely dominated the Halos’ lineup until a rocky sixth, striking out eight for his fourth win in five starts.
