Rays Collapse in Lopsided Loss

The Rays took a brutal 14-3 loss to the Angels at Tropicana Field, surrendering a season-high 14 runs with 11 hits, four homers, six walks, and two hit batters — all while throwing over 180 pitches. Four times the Angels loaded the bases, cashing in on two big innings while the Rays couldn’t deliver when it mattered most. Drew Rasmussen’s shaky start included a first-inning grand slam, and despite later efforts, the team couldn’t recover. A diving catch by Jo Adell robbed them of a potential rally, and a painful play at the plate added insult to injury. Manager Kevin Cash called it a “sloppy game” and “sloppy loss” — a tough day the Rays hope to quickly forget. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
