MINNEAPOLIS -- Longo and LoMo aren't Mantle and Maris, nor are they Mays and McCovey, but for a fleeting moment in time on Sunday afternoon, the pair proved to be just as feared while dominating Twins pitching at Target Field.
"It is a little rare [to have two guys as hot as Evan Longoria and Logan Morrison], but we'll gladly welcome it, because they're carrying a big load for us," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "Whether there's guys on base or not, it seems like they're coming through."
Batting in the Nos. 3 and 4 spots, respectively, Longoria and Morrison each homered twice to account for all of the Rays' runs leading up to the ninth inning.
