WEB GEMS- Bot 6th: Alex Rios robbed Carlos Pena of a Homerun!
 
Third baseman Evan Longoria smashed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Tropicana
Field as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Chicago (AL) Whitesox by the count of 5
to 2.
 
Longoria was spectacular at the plate.  The hometown fans showed their
appreciation with a standing ovation his last time at bat.  He cracked a
two-run shot in the 1st inning, lost the ball over the fence for three runs
in the 3rd inning and delivered a base-hit in the 8th inning.  Tampa Bay
finished with 9 hits while Chicago (AL) ended up with 5.  
 
Jeremy Hellickson(1-0) was the winner allowing 2 runs in 7 innings. Hellickson
got help from Joel Peralta who was credited with his 1st save.  Chris
Sale(0-2) absorbed the loss.  His ERA increased from 3.86 to 5.54 as he
allowed 5 runs in 6 innings.  
 
'Actually, I didn't feel that comfortable at the plate today' Longoria said
after the game.  'Despite that, I'm happy with the results!
