FACTS/FLUKES: Longoria, Holland, Aybar, Dozier, O. Perez

Longoria shines with good health ... Before missing two games over the weekend, Evan Longoria (3B, TAM) had managed overcome his "F" health grade and avoid the DL thus far this season. And lo and behold, he's fourth among third basemen in HRs, with an attractive BA to boot.
