Longoria Goes Long
Evan Longoria gets a nice upper cut on a pitch low in the strike zone and drives it out of the park leading off the second. It's the first hit and run of the game. Not bad for his first plate appearance in the Rays first post-season game in Longoria's first season.
Update: Navarro doubles on a pop up down the leftfield line that the shortstop, third baseman and leftfielder lose in the roof. Vazquez strikes out the other three batters, however, and the Rays come away with the one run. 1-0 Tampa Bay after two innings.
MLB Gameday says that Pena got subbed for Willy Aybar. Do you know why? Is he hurt?
"Longoria Goes Long"
...twice.
