Tampa Bay Rays' Evan Longoria(notes), left, celebrates with teammate Carlos Pena(notes) after Longoria hit a two-run, game-winning home run off Boston Red Sox pitcher Takashi Saito(notes) in the 13th inning of a baseball game Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2009, in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Boston could only keep Evan Longoria's bat silent for so long. Tampa Bay's All-Star slugger struck out four times, yet continued his torrid hitting against the Red Sox with two homers Tuesday night, including a two-run shot off Takashi Saito with two outs in the bottom of the 13th inning to give the Rays a 4-2 victory.
