Longoria homers again, Rays beat Twins 7-4

MINNEAPOLIS -- Evan Longoria homered for the third straight game, and Matt Andriese worked five innings in a rain-shortened start to pick up his fourth win as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins 7-4 on Saturday.

Longoria's fifth-inning home run was one of four for the Rays on the cloudy day, and the second of three allowed by Twins starter Ervin Santana (1-5). Steven Souza Jr.'s three-run shot off Santana in the fourth put the Rays ahead for good, and Logan Morrison's two-run homer in the seventh against Michael Tonkin put the game out of reach to give Tampa Bay its second consecutive win.
