Aranda and Richie Palacios drew consecutive walks leading off the third inning and Junior Camerino followed with a single to load the bases. Victor Mesa Jr. hit an RBI single and Cedric Mullins walked to drive in a run, giving the Rays a 3-1 lead.
O’Hoppe hit a solo homer in the seventh that pulled LA within a run.
Pinch-hitter Ben Williamson singled to drive in a run in the bottom of the inning and stole second base. Taylor Walls walked to load the bases and Yandy DÃaz drew an eight-pitch walk that scored Chandler Simpson and made it 5-2.
Camerino and Walls had two hits apiece for the Rays.
Jack Kochanowicz (2-4) allowed three runs and five hits and walked four in 2 1/3 innings.
