PHOENIX–No one in baseball played more games over the last five seasons than Evan Longoria, the Tampa Bay Rays ironman who showed up in at least 156 box scores every year from 2013-2017.
So when Longoria had his ability to work robbed of him by a fastball that fractured his pinky finger in June, the pain he felt on the inside was worse than the discomfort he felt in his hand.
After a six-week stint on the disabled list, Longoria is attempting to make up for lost time and he did so Sunday by smashing three hits including the go-ahead home run in the eighth inning to lead the Giants to a 3-2 win over the D’backs.
