Longoria is 1-for-8 with a double and RBI in the two games since his return from a two-game absence due to a foot injury.
The one hit during the stretch was a well-hit shot to deep right center that opened the fifth inning Thursday, but Longoria has been putting good wood on the ball overall, as evidenced by the 55.6 percent hard-contact rate he's managed in those two contests. Small as that sample is, it could be an encouraging sign for a player who's seen precipitous drops across his slash line this season, as well as a 68-point reduction in BABIP to .234.
