ANAHEIM, Calif., Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Vladimir Guerrero hit two solo home runs Monday, including the 400th of his career, to lead the Los Angeles Angels to an 8-7 win over Tampa Bay.

Jason Bartlett had three hits, drove in two runs and scored twice for the Rays, who also got two RBI from Ben Zobrist and a solo homer from Carlos Pena in their second straight loss -- and their third loss in four games.

Tampa Bay starter Matt Garza allowed six runs on six hits with four walks in 3 1/3 innings.

Russ Springer (0-2) took the loss for the Rays.
