RAYS vs. ANGELS—The clubs open a 4-game series tonight, and the Rays travel to Anaheim for a 3-game set immediately following the All-Star break (July 14-16)…last year the Rays won the season series, 4-3, going 1-3 at home and 3-game sweep at Angel Stadium (May 6-8)…they won the first 4 games of the season series, allowing 7 runs total, then lost the last 3 while allowing 25 runs…Rays have lost the last four series here at Tropicana Field, their last series win here coming April 24-26, 2012 (3-0)…Rays are 70-94 all-time (35-45 home, 35-49 road)…Tampa Bay is 39-30 (.565) in the Rays era (since 2008).
