Steven Souza Jr.'s RBI single pulled the Rays within one in the ninth, but Bud Norris escaped a bases-loaded jam by coaxing a game-ending double play from Tim Beckham to preserve the Angels' win.
Angels right-hander Parker Bridwell, who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Sunday's game, kept the Rays scoreless through six innings before surrendering a game-tying, two-run homer to Logan Morrison in the seventh. Bridwell departed after allowing two runs on six hits while walking one and striking out a career-high eight over 6 1/3 innings.
