Rays' Evan Longoria: Launches 30th homer in Wednesday win
Longoria went 1-for-5 with a game-tying solo homer, his 30th, in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Red Sox.
Analysis:
The slugging third baseman's 436-foot shot in the eighth was crucial to the eventual victory, as it knotted up the score at 3-3. Longoria's renaissance season now includes his first 30-homer tally since 2013, and fourth overall of his career. The 30-year-old also has three round-trippers over his last five games and seven overall in August.
