Rays third baseman Evan Longoria provided a big blast in Monday's American League Division Series Game 3 against Boston. Longoria's three-run homer in the fifth inning off starter Clay Buchholz with two outs gave the Rays new life as they staved off elimination.
Longoria tied the game at three with his HR, his first of the postseason. He went 1 for 5 in the game and is batting .222 in the ALDS as it heads to Game 4 with the Rays down 2-1 in the series.
The 28-year-old has a hit in three of the four postseason games he's played this year. He hit just .269 in the regular season with 32 homers and 88 RBI, but he warmed up considerably down the stretch.
