News
Carl Crawford has played more games for Tampa Bay than any player in team history, so it was fitting that he delivered the blow that lifted the Rays into uncharted territory. The surging Rays climbed five games over .500 for the first time in the club's 11 seasons, with Crawford hitting a three-run homer, stealing two bases and scoring twice Sunday to pace an 8-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. "We feel like we're going to win every game right now," the two-time All-Star said after Tampa Bay stopped Ervin Santana from becoming the AL's first seven-game winner. "We know that's not possible, but we have the confidence to feel that way."

Sonnanstine was charged with eight hits, five runs and two walks in five innings. He struck out three. Sonnanstine's four-game winning streak came to an end.

Rays SP James Shields (4-2) rebounded from the second-shortest outing of his career for his second shutout in his past three starts Friday at home. The 26-year-old right-hander limited the Angels to Brandon Wood's one-out single in the third and retired the last 17 batters he faced after hitting Erick Aybar with a pitch in the fourth. He struck out eight. "Spectacular," manager Joe Maddon said. "Just totally in command."
