MINNEAPOLIS -- The Rays tied a franchise record with 19 runs on Saturday afternoon as the offense erupted and delivered a record-setting performance in the late innings to get their road trip back on track.

The Rays racked up six runs off Twins ace Jose Berrios and punished the Minnesota bullpen in the later innings in a 19-6 win at Target Field to snap a two-game skid. Tampa Bay tallied five runs each in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings and became the first team in the live-ball era (since 1920) to record five or more runs in the final three frames.
