Rays third baseman Evan Longoria came up big in Texas Monday night as Tampa Bay won the one-game playoff to earn the one-game wild card game in Cleveland.
Longoria fell a triple shy of the cycle as he went 3 for 4 with a walk in the game. He homered in the third inning for a two-run shot, his 32nd of the year. He added a double and scored twice.
Longoria finishes his regular season with a .269 average and 88 runs batted in. His big game means the Rays must beat Cleveland if they hope to get into a playoff series.
