Nick Martinez (5-1) allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings to earn the win. The right-hander has allowed two runs or less in all 11 starts this season.
Díaz hit his ninth home run on the second pitch from Walbert Ureña for a 1-0 lead. Díaz gave the Rays a 3-2 lead in the seventh with a two-run shot off Ryan Zeferjahn (2-3) after Cedric Mullins drew a leadoff walk.
Aranda followed with his 10th homer, but the Rays were just getting started.
Junior Caminero singled and Zeferjahn left in favor of Brent Suter after a groundout. Chandler reached on an error at first by Grissom and Oliver Dunn made it 5-2 with an RBI bunt single.
Richie Palacios added a two-run triple before scoring on a sacrifice bunt by Nick Fortes for an 8-2 lead.
Hunter Bigge walked Zach Neto and Trout to start the eighth and left without retiring a batter after Grissom doubled in a run to make it 8-3. Kevin Kelly entered and surrendered RBI groundouts to Jo Adell and Wade Meckler to cap the scoring.
Ureña allowed one run on five hits in six innings. Zeferjahn and Suter were tagged for seven runs — five earned — in the final two innings.
The Rays' Ben Williamson went 1 for 2 after missing eight games on the injured list with lower back issues before he was hit on the forearm by a pitch from Ureña in the sixth inning and forced to exit.
Angels LHP Reid Detmers (1-5, 4.57) starts Saturday opposite Rays RHP Drew Rasmussen (4-1, 2.78).

PARIS (AP) — A huge crowd of supporters gathered peacefully near the Eiffel Tower on Sunday to celebrate Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League title victory which was marred by violent clashes overnight across France that led police to detain hundreds of people.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said 780 people were detained in Paris and other cities and 57 officers were wounded, with most suffering minor injuries, as football fans set off fires and vandalized shops overnight.
Nuñez said at a news conference Sunday that “the situation has been largely brought under control."
“Most of the celebrations took place peacefully” across the French capital, he said, noting most incidents happened in the Champs Elysees neighborhood and close to the Parc des Princes stadium, in western Paris, where fans had gathered to watch the match.
Nuñez said that planned celebrations for the team’s win on Sunday afternoon at the Champ de Mars would go ahead as scheduled. He warned that police would respond with “firmness and determination” to any potential violence.
Up to 100,000 supporters were expected at the event that has been placed under high security measures.
PSG players will parade with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop to present the Champions League trophy to the fans. The team will later be hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee presidential palace.
Nuñez said incidents took place in about 15 cities in France, describing “one to two” shops vandalized in each other than Paris. He said 780 people were detained in all, with 480 of them in the Paris area alone.
Police also intervened five times overnight to prevent people from blocking traffic on the main ring road around Paris, he said.
One serious accident involved a driver losing control of a car that rammed into a restaurant’s terrace, leaving two people wounded including one seriously, Nuñez said.
The Paris prosecutors’ office said 277 people have been formally placed in police custody, including 82 minors, for alleged offences. Most were for assault of police officers while other allegations include theft, vandalism and disturbing the public order.
Fans began celebrating in Paris after the final whistle on Saturday night in Budapest, Hungary, where Paris Saint-Germain was crowned Champions League winners after beating Arsenal in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Fans marched along the avenues near Paris' Arc de Triomphe monument, with some setting off flares and blaring car horns. Around 20,000 people gathered on the Champs-Elysees, where police worked to contain the crowd.
The Paris police prefecture said smaller groups caused disturbances in various locations, with some vandalizing shops and setting fires to garbage and self-service bicycles in the streets. Cars were also set ablaze. Some who attempted to storm a police station in the posh 8th Arrondissement neighborhood were dispersed, police said.
“The vast majority of Parisians celebrated it with joy, unity, and respect,” Paris mayor Emmanuel Grégoire said Sunday in a message on X while condemning violence “in the strongest possible terms.”
In May last year following PSG’s first title, 201 people were injured in the French capital and police made more than 500 arrests across France.
