Longoria hits walk off homer in Reds loss

By: Coop

Today the Reds were trying to win their 1st series vs. an AL team this year. Today's game promised to be a great pitching match up as Johnny Cueto was on the hill for Cincinnati, while David Price was pitching for Tampa Bay.

Cueto pitched well, really only made one mistake, that was when Johnny Damon went yard on him. He actually had a chance to win, as the Reds had a 2-1 lead in the 8th. But in that 8th their was this little blooper that Heisey couldn't catch, which there is really no way he cold have, 2 runs scored, and the Rays had the 3-2 lead.

In the top of the 9th, Jay Bruce hit a home run to strait away center, his 1st long ball since June 1st, and the game was tied at 3.

But then, the man who lost his cap, Evan Longoria, hit a walk off home run to left to give the Rays the 4-3 win.

Tomorrow the Reds will try and win the series and they will send Edinson Volquez to the hill. Game time is set for 12:10 PM ET, the game will be teleivised on FS Ohio.
