BOSTON -- Evan Longoria wasn't counting, but he knew it had been quite a long time since he'd hit a home run.
The Rays' slugger smashed a solo home run on Opening Day against the Orioles, but he had yet to hit another home run coming into Wednesday's game against the Red Sox -- a career-long 26-game homerless streak.
Those numbers went out the window when he belted solo shots in the fourth and ninth inning that helped the Rays to a 5-3 win.
Longoria's two homers"I guess eventually it had to happen," Longoria said with a grin.
