Longoria homer in 8th leads Rays

Evan Longoria hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Texas Rangers, 5-4, last night.

Trailing by a run, Longoria gave the Rays the lead with his two-out drive off Arthur Rhodes (3-3) after Johnny Damon reached on a bloop single to left that deflected off the glove of shortstop Elvis Andrus.

"He's a big part of the offense," Matt Joyce, who also homered, said of Longoria. "When he's going well, we're going to put up some runs."
