Carl Crawford has played more games for Tampa Bay than any player in team history, so it was fitting that he delivered the blow that lifted the Rays into uncharted territory.

The Tampa Bay Rays activated designated hitter-outfielder Cliff Floyd from the 15-day disabled list and designated outfielder Nathan Haynes for assignment after beating the Los Angeles Angels 2-0 on Friday night.
