Angels Absorb 8-4 Home Loss
Tampa Bay left fielder Eric Cox played a vital role in his team's 8-4 conquest of Los Angeles. He was 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay pitcher Chris Stephenson got the win. He's now 6-2. Marc Collins was tagged with the loss. With the win, the Rays improved to 56-58.

With Tampa Bay leading 3-2 in the top of the sixth, Cox hit a cutter from Marc Collins for a 3-run home run. It was his 28th home run of the season and put the Rays ahead, 6-2.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Cox told the Tampa Bay Observer.
