ST. PETERSBURG -- A Wednesday night that began with a splash ended with a thud, as the Angels fell to the Rays, 7-2, at Tropicana Field to extend their losing streak to three games and dip back below .500.
Kole Calhoun dunked a solo home run into the rays tank in right-center field to put the Angels on the board in the first inning, and Andrelton Simmons extended the lead to 2-0 with an RBI single in the fourth. But the Rays erased the deficit with a three-run fourth and then added an insurance run on Willy Adames' solo homer off right-hander Nick Tropeano in the sixth.
