Notes & reviews

• Evan Longoria homered in four consecutive games, an ALCS record; this was the 13th homer for the Rays to set a new ALCS record by breaking the mark of the 2003 Red Sox
• Evan Longoria dove to his left and deflected the ball
• Evan Longoria made a tough play on the grounder at the bag but threw the ball into the dirt
• the Red Sox came back from a seven-run deficit, which is the largest since the 1929 Athletics came back from an eight-run deficit to beat the Cubs in game four of the World Series; thus, this is the largest deficit overcome in LCS history; this is the eighth consecutive victory for the Red Sox in a post-season elimination game, all coming in the LCS (four games in 2004 and three in 2007)
