Evan Longoria back in Tampa Bay Rays' lineup vs Toronto Blue Jays

The Tampa Bay Rays will go for a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays in a matinee on "Canada Day", and Evan Longoria is back in the lineup at third base.

Longoria was out of the lineup yesterday, with Maddon wanting to rest him due to his sore left hamstring. Longoria pinch hit in the eighth.

Right hander James Shields will start for the Rays, boasting a staff high 10 quality starts.
