On offense, the Rays did their damage via the longball, with four solo homers off Anaheim starter Ervin Santana. Desmond Jennings got things started in the first, taking a 3-1 Santana pitch to over the wall in left to lead off the game. That would be all they would need, but Luke Scott would continue his solid first month with his fourth dinger of the season. B.J. Upton and Carlos Pena would get in on the action as well before Santana was chased.
