BOSTON (AP) -- Jason Bay and J.D. Drew homered in Boston's second straight big sixth inning and the Red Sox stopped the Tampa Bay Rays' longest winning streak of the year with a 7-3 win Friday night.

One night after the Red Sox equaled a modern major-league record and set an AL mark with 12 runs against Cleveland before making an out in an inning, five batters scored before the first out was recorded in the sixth.

Bay tied the game with a three-run homer and Drew made it 5-3 with a two-run shot off James Shields (3-3). Bay also hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning of the 13-3 win over the Indians, the last hit in the barrage.

The Red Sox improved to 17-5 in their last 22 games. Tampa Bay's winning streak ended at three.
