ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays have ended their skid with a huge win over the Twins today. The Rays got on the board early in the first; B.J. Upton with an RBI double, and Evan Longoria with a sacrifice fly to bring home Upton from third. The Rays then homered three innings in a row; Cliff Floyd with a solo shot in the second, Carlos Pena with a solo blast in third, Dioner Navarro going deep with a solo homer in the fourth. In the top of the fifth, Joe Mauer hit one to center that got passed the diving B.J. Upton and he himself would come around and score, not being credited with a home run, and in the same inning, Justin Morneau got an RBI single to narrow the Rays lead to two. The Rays then broke out with four in the fifth starting with an RBI single by Carlos Pena, and capped off with a three-run jack off the bat of Carl Crawford as the Rays dominate Scott Mathieson and the Twins.
