BALTIMORE -- Led by Wilson Ramos' grand slam and Evan Longoria's homer -- which tied the club record for home runs -- the Rays powered their way to Friday's 8-3 series-evening win over the Orioles.
After loading the bases on struggling Orioles starter Ubaldo Jimenez, Ramos clobbered the first pitch he saw in the top of the second inning to put Tampa Bay up 4-0. Ramos' blast had an exit velocity of 108.7 mph and sailed 439 feet, according to Statcast™. The homer was his hardest-hit ball of the season and his longest homer.
