Rays Dominate in Victory over Angels as Soriano Struggles

Soriano encountered challenges during his initial start of the season against the Rays at home last week. Despite striking out six hitters in four innings, he yielded four runs and threw a wild pitch that resulted in two runs in the first inning. The Rays are a formidable team known for their strong performance at home and recently secured two out of three victories in the series. Civale, who claimed a win in his previous start against the Angels, further bolstered the Rays' advantage in this matchup. Given the Angels' underwhelming offensive performance thus far and the Rays' recent success against them, Tampa Bay is favored to emerge victorious in this contest.
