Longoria HR, 5 RBIs carries Rays past Orioles 7-6 (Yahoo Sports)

Evan Longoria homered and drove in five runs, and the last-place Tampa Bay Rays again played the spoiler's role in a 7-6 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night. The loss stalled the Orioles' bid to enhance their position in the playoff picture. Baltimore started the day trailing AL East-leading Boston by one game and holding a one-game lead over Toronto for the top wild-card spot.
