    None of the Tampa Bay Rays wanted to see their old pal Evan Longoria in the batter's box with the game on the line in the ninth inning and two outs.

    This time, Longoria flied out to end the game facing his former team for the first time since being traded in December 2017.

    "He took a good swing, though," Rays manager Kevin Cash said.

    Yandy Diaz and Kevin Kiermaier hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning and Tampa Bay spoiled the San Francisco Giants' home opener with a 5-2 win Friday for the best start in Rays' franchise history.
