ST. PETERSBURG -- The Angels scrapped together 15 hits, including a historic Albert Pujols home run, and received a quality start from Matt Shoemaker en route to an 8-2 victory over the Rays on Tuesday inside Tropicana Field.

Los Angeles got off to a quick start, scoring two in the first inning and added runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings before finally closing the door for good with a three-run eighth.
