Saturday, 4 a.m.
It was the seventh inning when the ugly came off of the baseball for the Tampa Bay Rays.
They were down 2-1, to a mediocre Angels' team from Los Angelos. Home field didn't seem to be helping them. A fifth straight loss was possible.
And then the Rays' woke up.
The Rays scored seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Yandy Diaz homered (for the second time in the game). Jonathan Aranda homered for the back-to-back (he still leads the American League with 42 RBI). Richie Palacious tripled in two runs.
Oh, it wasn't smooth. The Angels came back with three runs themselves to make it close. It seemed closer when the Angels loaded the bases in the ninth before Bryan Baker recorded his 15th save.
Nick Martinez won his fifth game in six decisions. He has started 11 games without giving up more than two earned runs.
Diaz, Aranda and Junior Caminero all had two hits.
The Rays and Angels play again at 4:10 p.m. at Tropicana Field. Drew Rasmussen will start against Reid Detmers.
