Down to their final out on Saturday, Evan Longoria smashed a game-winning two-run walkoff home run off Padres' closer Huston Street, leading the Rays to an 8-7 victory.

After the first two hitters had been retired in the ninth, Ben Zobrist drew an all-important walk to set up Longoria's dramatic blast. He's been an absolute monster in the early part of the season, hitting .333/.400/.609 with nine homers and 26 RBI. While durability has always been a concern, there's no doubting that Longoria is an elite talent offensively, and will continue to produce as long as he remains on the field.

Evan Longoria delivered a go-ahead RBI single in Friday's 7-4 win over the Rockies in 10 innings.

The single broke a 4-4 tie while Kelly Johnson provided some insurance with a two-run homer. Longoria went 1-for-4 with a walk in the extra-inning victory and is hitting .305 with six home runs, 15 RBI and a .916 OPS through 28 games. Perhaps he won't run as much as he did early in his career, but he still has a good chance to be the No. 2 fantasy third baseman behind Miguel Cabrera if he can stay healthy.
