PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Nick Tropeanos first major league start in more than a month was a victory in itself for the reeling Los Angeles Angels.The right-hander returned to the rotation in a 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, and there were some encouraging signs during his five-inning outing.Theres more positives than negatives, but still what we saw out of him was losing a lot of counts. His pitch count got up there in a hurry, but his stuff played, manager Mike Scioscia said.After spending most of the past month on the disabled list because of right shoulder tightness, Tropeano threw 95 pitches while allowing two runs and four hits.As we talked about earlier in the season when he was pitching and getting to a certain point of the game and keeping us in games, but the length wasnt quite there, Scioscia added. I think that is kind of the start we saw today, and hopefully we continue to pick up where we left (off) when he was getting into the sixth and seventh inning.Logan Morrison homered and drove in two runs for the Rays, who won for just the third time in 19 games. Matt Moore (5-5) allowed two runs and six hits over 6 2/3 innings, improving to 4-0 in his career against Los Angeles and handing the Angels their 12th loss in 14 games.Matt Moore set the tone. Hes on a really good run. Its great to see, Rays manager Kevin Cash said after the left-hander won consecutive starts for the first time since September 2013.Morrison hit a solo homer off Tropeano and gave the Rays the lead for good with an RBI single against Fernando Salas (3-6). Brad Miller also had a solo homer for the last-place Rays, who stopped a four-game losing streak.Jefry Marte homered for Los Angeles before leaving in the sixth with a bruised left knee. The outfielder was hit by a pitch in the fourth but remained in the game long enough to go deep on the first pitch of the sixth to make it 2-all.Andrelton Simmons drove in the other run for the Angels with a fourth-inning double.They just took me out. Im OK, said Marte, who expects to be in the lineup Tuesday, when the four-game series continues at Tropicana Field.Meanwhile, Salas has taken the loss in four of his last eight appearances. The right-hander has a 9.72 ERA over his past 16 outings, compared to 2.01 through his first 22 appearances this year.Fernando just hasnt been as crisp. His command has been in the equattion of why hes been struggling, Scioscia said.dddddddddddd Hes a better pitcher than hes shown. Theres no doubt about that.Tropeano was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake before the game to make his first major league start since May 29. The right-hander, activated on June 24 and optioned to the minors, allowed solo homers to Miller in the third and Morrison in the fifth. He walked one and struck out two.I would say the one to Miller was kind of up in the zone; I didnt get it down. Morrison went out and got it. Ill tip my cap to him, Tropeano said. Overall, I was just trying to get the rust out a little. ... I ran my pitch count up a little, but physically I felt good.The Rays scored twice against Salas in the sixth, with Morrison delivering a go-ahead single and Steven Souza Jr. doubling into the left-field corner to drive in Morrison from first base and make it 4-2.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: Scioscia said C Geovany Soto (right knee) could return during the four-game series. Soto is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake.Rays: RHP Alex Cobb (Tommy John surgery) will start a rehab assignment with Class A Charlotte on Wednesday. . Tampa Bay closer Alex Colome (right biceps tendinitis) felt fine after a bullpen session Sunday and didnt rule out being ready to return this week.COMING AND GOINGAngels: To make room for Tropeano, LHP Jose Alvarez was optioned to Salt Lake to find his release point, according to Scioscia. The move leaves Los Angeles without a left-hander in the bullpen. In a perfect world you have one or two lefties that can go there and match up, but were not there right now, Scioscia said.Rays: CF Desmond Jennings was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring. RHP Tyler Sturdevant was recalled from Triple-A Durham to help a struggling bullpen.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Tim Lincecum (1-2, 6.75 ERA) makes his second career start against Tampa Bay, which hasnt faced him since Aug. 3, 2013, when he was with San Francisco.Rays: RHP Jake Odorizzi (3-3, 3.91 ERA) tries to end a stretch of nine consecutive home starts without a win, the longest streak by a Rays pitcher to begin a season since Scott Kazmir went 10 in 2007. Odorizzi is 0-2 with a 5.14 ERA in three career starts against the Angels. ' ' '
