The Rays only hits on Monday were a double by 3B Evan Longoria, spoiling RH Michael Pineda's perfect game bid with 2 outs in the 7th inning, and 1B Logan Morrison's homer in the 8th last year they played only one game in which all their hits went for extra bases: Aug 1 vs. KC (1 hit; Desmond Jennings 2B) the last road game in which this occurred was May 8, 2004 at ANA (3 hits; Carl Crawford 2B, Aubrey Huff 2B, José Cruz Jr. HR).
