APRIL 02, 2011

Updated 8:48 p.m. Rays third baseman Evan Longoria left today's game with a sore left oblique, and he will be further re-evaluated Sunday.

Developing; As if getting no-hit through five innings by Orioles RHP Chris Tillman wasn't bad enough news for the Rays, 3B Evan Longoria is now out of the game.

INF Sean Rodriguez just came in to play third base to start the sixth inning. There has been no reason given yet as for why Longoria is out.

We'll keep you posted.
