ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Evan Longoria drove in the winning run with a double in the ninth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays completed a three-game sweep with a 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
Carlos Pena drew a one-out walk in the ninth off George Sherrill (1-1) and scored on Longoria's double to center. Longoria also caused Baltimore problems on Saturday, hitting two homers and driving six runs in Tampa Bay's 11-4 victory.
Troy Percival (1-0) got the final two outs in the ninth for the win.
Pena hit a two-run shot during a four-run third as Tampa Bay took a 4-1 lead. Like Longoria, Pena has been a problem for the Orioles: In 11 games against Baltimore, he has five homers and 18 RBI, and in 38 games against all other opponents he's hit just five homers and had 11 RBI.
Eric Hinske added a run-scoring single and Dioner Navarro drove in a run with a double in the third for the Rays, who have won 15 of 16 at home. Tampa Bay is 22-9 since April 22, and are 10 games over .500 (30-20) for the first time in franchise history.
Rays starter James Shields allowed four runs and eight hits over eight innings. He struck out three and walked one. Baltimore right-hander Daniel Cabrera gave up four runs, nine hits, six walks and had one strikeout in 5 2/3 innings.
Adam Jones drove in a run in the fifth with a double that cut the Orioles' deficit to 4-2. Melvin Mora, who was 0-for-16 on the current trip, had an RBI single and Aubrey Huff hit a solo homer that tied it at 4 one inning later.
Huff, who started his major league career with the Rays, has three homers and seven RBI this season against his old team.
Ramon Hernandez put the Orioles ahead 1-0 on a single in the second. Full story

ATLANTA -- Eric Byrnes failed to come through with the bases loaded in the third inning. He didn't waste another chance in the fifth.
