ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Dioner Navarro turned the page quickly after his dugout confrontation with teammate Matt Garza the day before. So did the rest of the Tampa Bay Rays.
Navarro had four hits and four RBIs, including one of three consecutive home runs Tampa Bay hit against Joe Saunders, and rookie Evan Longoria had a pair of solo homers and an RBI double in a 13-4 rout of the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.Fast Facts
• Evan Longoria, Willy Aybar and Dioner Navarro hit the first back-to-back-to-back home runs in Rays history.
• Longoria hit two home runs, his second career multi-home run game.
• Vladimir Guerrero and Gary Matthews Jr. both went 4-for-4 in the losing effort for the Angels. The last time two Angels had four hits in a loss was Garret Anderson and Darin Erstad on Sept. 27, 2000.

Game notes
Angels RHP Chris Bootcheck, who gave up Mark Ellis' game-winning grand slam in Sunday's 7-3 loss at Oakland, was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a forearm strain. O'Day was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. ... Guerrero has 23 career four-hit games, but has yet to get five. ... The Rays are 14-8 in the first game of a series, and have won nine of their last 11 series openers. ... Carl Crawford's two steals increased Tampa Bay's major league-leading total to 72. ... Aybar's younger brother Erick has missed the Angels' last 18 games with a dislocated right pinky.
