Backing a solid six innings from ace Chris Archer, Longoria added an RBI triple in Tampa Bay's two-run third and singled in the seventh. He completed the second cycle in Rays history -- and sixth cycle across MLB this season -- with a double in the ninth, though it took a crew-chief review, as Longoria was originally called out on a play at second base.

The Rays' first-inning homers -- which gave them a 3-0 lead it would not relinquish -- bumped their season homer total to 157, the third-most in the American League, behind the Astros' MLB-leading 174 and the Rangers' 163.
