--3B Evan Longoria took over the AL lead with 28 RBIs after a fifth-inning grand slam. Manager Joe Maddon said his success is the result of being better prepared this season, having a better two-strike approach and making better use of the whole field.

--1B Carlos Pena became the first major-leaguer with 10 home runs when he and Evan Longoria went back-to-back in the fifth inning. It was the second time they went back to back this season.

--RHP Jason Isringhausen, scratched from Thursday's rehab appearance at Class AAA Durham with an abdominal strain, is fine and will continue his rehab assignment as scheduled, manager Joe Maddon said.

--LF Carl Crawford drew a walk for his fifth straight game, a career high and another example of manager Joe Maddon's insistence on good at-bats."

--RHP Chad Bradford, recovering from February elbow surgery, looked good and felt good in a bullpen session Thursday and is ready to move to the next stage. He'll throw batting practice Sunday and Tuesday, and if all is well, he'll start a minor league rehab assignment, aiming for a late-May return.

--RHP Jason Isringhausen moved his rehab assignment from Class AA Montgomery to Class AAA Durham, but he was scratched from a scheduled appearance due to a mild abdominal strain he suffered while playing catch.
