News
Carlos Pena's three-run wind-aided shot in the seventh inning on a ball to center that seemed destined for the warning track helped the erase the Rays' four-run deficit at St. Louis Saturday. "The ball was really carrying in all directions," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "The three-run homer that Pena hit, that's not a home run here most of the time. Neither was the home run in the 10th."

Evan Longoria's two-run homer in the 13th inning was enough to get Tampa Bay the win on the road at Oakland in the series opener Monday. Carlos Pena led off the top of the 13th with a single off Chad Gaudin (3-3) and Longoria followed with a no-doubt drive that cleared the fence so easily that left fielder Emil Brown never even moved from his position.

News
Joe Maddon walked up to Jason Hammel before the game and gave his little-used reliever a pep talk, telling him it was only a matter of time until he contributed after not taking the mound for 11 consecutive days. That time came only a few hours later when Hammel pitched three scoreless frames in extra innings to help the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Oakland Athletics 7-6 on Monday night. "I said, 'Listen, I know it stinks but we need you to stay ready because we're going to need you at some point, and you're going to come through for us tonight,' " Maddon said. "I did not have that in the back of my mind when I said it to him. He pitched great. He really did."
