Wilyer Abreu hit two home runs -- the second a go-ahead, two-run shot in the seventh inning that gave him four homers in two games -- and the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 7-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday to extend their winning streak to 12 games.

Abreu's shot off Garrett Cleavinger capped a four-run inning that wiped out a 6-3 deficit. The 12-game winning streak matches the third longest in franchise history for Boston. The Red Sox will have a chance to win 13 straight for the first time since 1948 with a win Sunday.

Ryan Watson earned his first major league victory and Aroldis Chapman got the final three outs for his 21st save. Making his second start after missing last season recovering from Tommy John surgery, Patrick Sandoval gave up five runs in five innings.

The win moves Boston over the .500 mark for the first time since after the season opener. The Red Sox have been at or below .500 for 95 straight games, according to ESPN Research.
