"A couple of big decisions were made inside the Tampa Bay Rays' clubhouse Tuesday afternoon.

In his office, Joe Maddon pondered who should bat third, B.J. Upton or Evan Longoria, before eventually settling on Longoria.

At the same time, clubhouse manager Chris Westmoreland decided to go with whipped cream in place of shaving cream for the postgame pie in the face celebrations.

"Shaving cream stings their eyes. We had to mix it up," said Westmoreland, who brought in bottles of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla whipped cream.

Both moves turned out huge.

Upton hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Rays a 3-2 victory against the Blue Jays, and his eyes survived the postgame pie in the face from Longoria, who smashed Upton with the first chocolate pie in team history during Upton's post-home run TV interview with Todd Kalas.

"That's the first time I ever experienced that," Upton said. "I had my eyes closed thinking it was shaving cream. I started smelling it, and I was like, 'Is that chocolate?' That's pretty cool, something different."

Safe to say, whipped cream doesn't sting.

"No, not at all, did taste good, though," Upton said. "Better to have in your mouth than the shaving cream.""
