The Rays get one back in the bottom of the sixth.
Elliot Johnson reaches on an infield second and moves to second on a single by Zobrist.
Johnson then steals third and scores when Justin Ruggiano grounds into a double play.
Astros 6, Rays 4.
As Joel Guzman steps in to hit, Evan Longoria moves to the on-deck circle to pinch-hit for designated hitter Cliff Floyd.
Someone sitting behind the third base dugout yells, “Roy Hobbs is on deck.”
Guzman walks and Hobbs, I mean Longoria, steps to the plate.
Longoria walks.
“Good eye,” the same guy yells.
Fernando Perez fouls out to end the inning.
Had Johnson not stolen third he wouldn't have scored. This is how Maddon wants to play this season. Be aggressive on the base paths and force the action.
