MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Jeff Keppinger homered and doubled, then drove in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Minnesota Twins 7-3 Sunday for their sixth straight win.

Ryan Roberts had three hits, including a two-run single in the 10th. Sean Rodriguez capped the burst with an RBI double as Tampa Bay matched its longest winning streak of the season.

Kyle Farnsworth (1-3) worked around a one-out single in the ninth to earn his first win since last Aug. 21.

Alex Burnett (4-4) took the loss in Minnesota's fifth defeat in a row.
