It was bound to happen - Evan Longoria leads off the fourth, and someone in the press box calls him Eva.
Wonder if he's heard that one before?
The Longoria who isn't married to an NBA superstar draws a four-pitch walk from John Van Benschoten, who is Pittsburgh's third pitcher of the day.
Joel Guzman is hit on the wrist by a pitch and is replaced by Chris Richard. You have to respect Richard's persistence - the guy hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2003. But here is, No. 62, looking to land a spot on the club. Moments later, he takes second on the tail end of a double steal.
The Rays have swiped three bases in three-plus innings, and Andy Cannizaro makes the speed pay off by lifting a runs-scoring sacrifice fly to right.
Tampa Bay manages to score a run without the benefit of a hit and leads 4-1.
