The Rays lost against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night, failing to capitalize on multiple golden run-scoring opportunities late in the game.

Cabellero jumped on the first pitch from Yusei Kikuchi in the first inning, launching a grand slam to give the Rays an early 4-0 lead. It was Cabellero's first home run of 2025, and the 28-year-old has started the season 5-for-19 with four walks,

The aftermath of a 4-3 loss to the Angels on Tuesday was littered with missed opportunities, bad decisions, mistakes and frustration.

While some on social media might place the blame solely at the feet of Hample, who caught a two-run wall-scraping homer just over the outstretched glove of left fielder Christopher Morel, the Rays simply couldn’t get out of their own way on Tuesday night and as a result dropped their fifth straight and dropped to 4-6 to start the year.

Luis Rengifo hit a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels rallied to beat Tampa Bay 4-3 Tuesday night, extending the Rays’ losing streak to five in the opener of a 13-game homestand.

Over the past week, the Rays made a habit of only putting together rallies that were too little and too late. They only scored 14 runs during their recent five-game losing streak, and just two of them came within the first five innings.

Kenley Jansen, MLB’s active leader in saves, has seen it all in his 16 seasons. But Tuesday’s game against the Rays was something he won’t forget anytime soon.
