Marwin Gonzalez and Byron Buxton each homered and drove in two runs and Kyle Gibson allowed only an unearned run over five innings to pick up his fourth win in five starts to lead the Minnesota Twins to a 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday afternoon in St. Petersburg, Fla.

It marked the 25th consecutive game that Minnesota scored three or more runs in a game, breaking the single-season franchise record set in 2006. The Twins, who set a franchise record with 56 homers in May, clubbed two to increase the major league leading total to 108 and nearly had a third when Miguel Sano doubled off the top of the right-field fence in the seventh.

Jason Castro also had three hits and scored a run, and Eddie Rosario, Gonzalez and Buxton each had two hits for Minnesota, which improved to 20-9 on the road, including 12-3 in its last 15 attempts. The Twins, who went 21-8 during the month of May, have won 14 of their last 17 games.

Gibson (6-2) allowed six hits and a walk while striking out three. Four relievers combined to hold the Rays to three hits and a run over the final four innings

Christian Arroyo homered and Willy Adames and Austin Meadows each had two hits for Tampa Bay. Yonny Chirinos (6-2), who pitched five no-hit innings in his previous start against Toronto on Monday, gave up four runs on nine hits and a walk over 5 1/3 innings while striking out seven to pick up the loss.

The Rays have dropped two straight after winning their previous six games.

Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead in the second when Nate Lowe singled and went to third on a throwing error by Jonathan Schoop on an infield single by Adames. Travis d'Arnaud then drove in Lowe with a single.

The Twins took a 2-1 lead in the third on RBI doubles by Jorge Polanco and Gonzalez, the latter deflecting off of Kevin Kiermaier's glove as he crashed into the fence in center.

After Buxton's RBI single in the fourth extended the lead to 3-1, Gonzalez led off the fifth by drilling his sixth home run of the season over the fence in center.

Buxton made it 5-1 in the sixth with his sixth homer of the season off reliever Hunter Wood, and Sano extended Minnesota's lead to 6-1 in the seventh with his long RBI double just below the yellow line on the right-field fence.

Arroyo ended the scoring with a solo home run in the eighth off reliever Ryne Harper. It was Arroyo's first of the season.
