Noteworthiness
— Evan Longoria was named the AL player of the week on Monday, after he hit .464 with five homers, nine RBI and seven runs over the past week. That stretch included the series against Twins, where he became the first Rays player to homer in each game of a four-game series.
— According to Rich Hollenberg (Fox Sports Sun) out of all the AL third basemen, only Longoria and Kyle Seager rank in the top five in hits, home runs, RBI, extra base hits, slugging percentage, and fielding percentage. Longo tops Seager in hits, home runs, extra base hits, and slugging percentage.
— I can go for that:
