Rasmus went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Rasmus' 388-foot shot to right in the seventh gave the Rays some breathing room by extending their lead to 4-2 at the time. It was the veteran outfielder's first long ball since May 16 after he'd launched four in his first 10 games of the season. Rasmus has had no trouble making hard contact when he's put wood on the ball, but strikeouts have particularly been a problem. After whiffing multiple times for the third straight game Wednesday, the 30-year-old's strikeout rate is a mammoth 41.8 percent.
