Shields Follows Up Garza's No-Hitter With Another Win For Rays
Evan Longoria is not letting a hitting slump impact his defense.
The All-Star third baseman turned Miguel Cabrera's bases-loaded grounder behind the bag into a nifty game-ending double play as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Detroit Tigers 3-2 on Tuesday.
"There's not many guys that would have made the play Longoria made," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "He made a great play. He's unbelievably accurate throwing to second base for double plays."
Rays closer Rafael Soriano struggled in the ninth before getting his 27th save. After loading the bases with one out, he induced the grounder from Cabrera that setup Longoria's key play.
