Rays third baseman Evan Longoria went 2 for 2 with an RBI during his Grapefruit League debut in Tampa Bay's matchup against Houston on Tuesday. Longoria, who also scored a run, returned to camp last Saturday after missing three days due to the birth of his daughter. But he showed little rust with his swing and assumed his usual No. 3 spot in the batting order. Longoria missed 13 weeks in 2012 due to a hamstring injury. "I definitely got my baserunning in today," he said. "I felt great. I don't know how it looks, but it feels 100 percent better than it did at the end of the season last year. And that's all that really matters."
