Tampa Bay Rays' Evan Longoria hits a fourth inning double against the Kansas City Royals and later scores on a force out by Willy Aybar during their MLB American League baseball game in Kansas City, Missouri July 26, 2008. The Tampa Bay Rays are facing their first pennant race test earlier than expected, having to deal with the loss of two All Stars before meeting big rivals Boston and New York in September.
