Shane McClanhan stayed perfect at home with five strong innings, and the Tampa Bay Rays claimed their sixth straight home series with a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Facing a Los Angeles lineup with nine right-handed batters, the lefty McClanahan (6-2) allowed one run on four hits without a walk.
He struck out three to improve to 5-0 in the dome and won for the fifth time in the past seven starts.
Jonathan Aranda homered, and Junior Caminero went 2-for-3 with two walks and a run. Taylor Walls had two hits and a walk.
The Rays drew a season-best nine walks but went 3-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 12 on base.
Logan O'Hoppe homered for the Angels, who finished 11-17 in May.
Wildness plagued Los Angeles starter Jack Kochanowicz (2-4) as he walked four and allowed three runs in 2 1/3 innings. He gave up five hits and whiffed one.
Aranda lashed a 98 mph four-seamer down and in from Kochanowicz out to right field in a hurry in the home half of the first inning. The 409-foot shot was the first baseman's 11th homer.
The Angels matched that marker in the second following two-out hits by Jose Siri and O'Hoppe. McClanahan's wild pitch with Nick Madrigal batting sent Siri in for the tie.
In the third, the Rays took advantage of wildness from Kochanowicz to load the bases on two walks and an infield single. He retired Chandler Simpson on a popout, but Victor Mesa Jr. stroked an RBI single to center before Cedric Mullins' walk scored another to chase the right-hander.
Reliever Mitch Farris then fanned Hunter Feduccia, and Siri robbed Walls of a grand slam by reaching over the low wall in left field to snag the third out - keeping it at 3-1 instead of 7-1.
Against reliever Casey Legumina, O'Hoppe hooked his second homer to left off the foul pole in the seventh to make it a one-run game.
The left-handed Farris kept the visitors in it with four innings with a hit, four strikeouts and three walks, but a key fielding error by shortstop Zach Neto allowed the Rays to plate two unearned runs in the seventh, both charged to Farris, on pinch hitter Ben Williamson's single and Yandy Diaz's walk.
Bryan Baker posted his 16th save with a one-hit, scoreless ninth.
