Every time I see an Angels highlight it’s like “Mike Trout went 2 for 3 with 3 runs, hit a home run, and reached base 4 times, while Wade Meckler went 2 for 4 with a grand slam, as the Angels defeated the Rays, 14-3.” #RepTheHalo

LTBU! Angels dominate the Rays in game 2! Angels' offense was dominant, got started with Meckler's grand slam, and they never looked back afterwards! Trout and Adell both blasted homeruns! Detmers gave up 3 runs in 5 innings, but got out of jams! Great win! #GoHalos #RepTheHalo pic.twitter.com/KOobleRoOS
