Rays set club record with back-to-back HRs

ST. PETERSBURG -- Down 3-0 to the Orioles in the third inning on Saturday, the Rays tied the game in a way more characteristic of this team than any others in the Majors: with back-to-back homers.

As Evan Longoria followed up Corey Dickerson's long ball with the solo shot that knotted the score in an eventual 8-3 loss to the Orioles, the Rays set a franchise record with their 10th back-to-back jacks of the season.

Only five other teams in MLB history have achieved the feat 10 times by the end of June.
