Longoria powers Rays past Red Sox

Evan Longoria hit a home run and drove in five runs to raise his major league-leading total to 44 runs batted in, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 14-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

Pat Burrell, Carlos Pena, Ben Zobrist and Akinori Iwamura each drove in two runs for Tampa Bay, which has won seven of 10. The Rays have won six of nine against Boston this season.

After Jon Lester walked Carl Crawford, Longoria connected for a drive that hit the top of the center-field wall and bounced over, making it 2-0 three batters into the game. It was Longoria’s 11th home run and fifth against the Red Sox this season.

Boston lost for only the fourth time in 16 games at Fenway Park. Three of those losses came against the Rays.
