ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Colby Rasmus drove in all four runs for the Tampa Bay Rays in a 4-0 win against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday at Tropicana Field.

Tampa Bay (25-25) won the final two games of the four-game series to climb back to .500. The Angels (25-25) will travel to Miami to face the Marlins and close out a 10-game road trip.

Ramsus, batting out of the sixth spot, came up with the bases loaded and two outs in the first inning and hit a single to center that scored Corey Dickerson and Evan Longoria.

He faced a similar bases-loaded, two-out situation in the bottom of the fifth inning and hit a ground-rule double to the gap in left-center field that again sent Dickerson and Longoria to the plate.

Angels starter Daniel Wright (0-1) gave up four runs (two earned) in 4 1/3 innings for the loss.

Andriese ran into trouble early when Mike Trout doubled with one out in the top of the first but he was tagged out at home trying to score on a single from Andrelton Simmons.

Los Angeles had runners in scoring position in the each of the first four innings but could not scratch across any runs. For the game the Angels were 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
