Jo Adell went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored and Jose Siri hit a two-run homer as the Los Angeles Angels pounded out 15 hits in an 8-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif.
Denzer Guzman went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a run scored, and Donovan Walton had a double and three hits and two RBIs. Nolan Schanuel also had two hits and two runs scored for Los Angeles, which won its fourth straight and for the fifth time in six games.
The victory clinched the second straight home series win for the Angels, the first time that has happened since June 5-11, 2025, against Seattle and the Athletics.
Jose Soriano (8-4), despite getting hit in the chest by a hard comebacker by Jonathan Aranda in the first inning, picked up the win with five shutout innings. The right-hander allowed three hits, walked two and struck out five.
Left-hander Samy Natera Jr. followed Soriano and struck out two over two hitless innings, and Brent Suter and Kirby Yates each tossed a scoreless inning of relief to finish up.
Tampa Bay starter Griffin Jax (1-5) suffered the loss despite allowing just one unearned run on five hits over five innings while striking out five without a walk.
Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning when Adell lined a double off the bottom of the left field fence and then scored when Schanuel’s hard grounder went off the glove of shortstop Taylor Walls for an error.
The Angels extended the lead to 4-0 in the sixth inning on Guzman’s two-run bloop single to center followed by Walton’s RBI double to right.
Los Angeles then broke the game open with a four-run seventh against reliever Cole Sulser. Siri made it 6-0 with a 431-foot, two-run homer to center, and Guzman and Walton each added RBI singles.
