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
