MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — B.J. Upton hit two home runs, Matt Joyce also homered, and David Price earned his 15th victory as the Tampa Bay Rays stretched their winning streak to five by beating the Minnesota Twins 4-2 on Saturday night.

Ben Zobrist went 3-for-4 for the Rays, who have won 10 of 13 and kept pace in the AL East and AL wild card races. Tampa Bay is on its longest winning streak since a six-game run from April 29-May 4.

Price (15-4) held the Twins to two runs and seven hits in seven innings. He has worked at least seven innings in 10 consecutive starts.

Brian Dozier homered, and Justin Morneau had two hits for the Twins.
