HOUSTON (AP) — Evan Longoria homered twice and drove in five runs and pinch-hitter Matt Joyce delivered a go-ahead double in the eighth inning Sunday that sent the Tampa Bay Rays over the Houston Astros 14-10 for a three-game sweep.
B.J. Upton homered for the third straight day and drove in four runs for the Rays, who have won four in a row.
Longoria came within a triple of the cycle and had his first multihomer game since 2009. He had eight hits, including three home runs, and 10 RBIs in the series while going without batting gloves for the first time since his rookie season.
Joyce’s two-out, two-run double put the Rays ahead 9-8. Casey Kotchman followed with a two-run single.
