Orioles And Rays Play To 6-6, 10-Inning Tie
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) -- Evan Longoria hit his third homer of the spring and drove two runs as the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles played to a 6-6 tie in 10 innings Monday.
Alejandro De Aza had two RBIs for Baltimore.
For the second time in three days, Orioles manager Buck Showalter used a minor league pitcher against an American League East opponent.
Zach Davies started instead of Wei-Yin Chen, who pitched a minor league game. Chen is scheduled to start against the Rays on opening day.
Davies allowed one run on five hits in 3 1-3 innings.
Matt Andriese trying for a spot on the injury-riddled Tampa Bay staff, gave up five runs on eight hits in three innings.
Joey Butler hit a three-run home run in the ninth inning to tie the score.
