Rays Honor Longoria With Ceremony | Seattle Mariners News

The Seattle Mariners vs. Tampa Bay Rays game got delayed to honor franchise legend Evan Longoria, whose number 3 jersey was set to be retired and who was inducted into the Rays’ Hall of Fame.

Longoria’s decade with the Rays included 261 home runs, multiple All-Star appearances, and Gold Gloves — and the team’s president called his impact “transformative.” It was a heartfelt tribute to a true icon, blending celebration of the past with the excitement of the game ahead.

Vilade’s Pinch-Hit Bomb Ignites Rays | Seattle Mariners News

Ryan Vilade crushed a three-run pinch-hit homer in the seventh, breaking a 2-1 game wide open and giving Tampa Bay the lead after Seattle intentionally walked Junior Caminero. Ben Williamson added fire with a career-high four hits, including a double that tied the game and an eighth-inning run that sealed the win. The Rays’ victory extends their AL East lead to four games over the Yankees and marks Seattle’s fifth straight loss — their worst skid of the season. The Mariners’ offense went cold, going 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position, while Tampa Bay’s pitching shut them down in the final innings. The game also honored Evan Longoria, who was inducted into the Rays’ Hall of Fame — drawing the highest attendance at Tropicana Field this season, with his number 3 jersey set to be retired Sunday.
