Longoria hits long homer; Rays hold off Red Sox 5-4
Credit: The Associated PressBOSTON — Alex Cobb was coasting along and before he knew it, he was watching the bullpen hold onto a tight victory.
Cobb took a one-hit shutout into the seventh inning before tiring, Evan Longoria hit a homer over the Green Monster completely out of Fenway Park and the Tampa Bay Rays held off the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Friday night.
"We had an opportunity to really cave there, with things working against us," Cobb said. "We were shooting ourselves in the foot a little bit. But to be able to get out of the funk we're in, we've got to be able to win ballgames like that."
