CLEVELAND, July 13 (UPI) -- Jhonny Peralta and Andy Marte bashed home runs Sunday for Cleveland, which beat Tampa Bay 5-2, stretching the Rays' losing streak to seven games.

Peralta hit a two-run homer and drove in another run with a sacrifice fly and Marte hit a solo shot, helping the Indians win their fourth in a row.

Akinori Iwamura walked with the bases loaded to send in one Tampa Bay run and Shawn Riggans drove in the other with a single.

Reliever Tom Mastny (1-2) got the win, tossing two scoreless innings.

Losing pitcher Scott Kazmir (7-5) gave up all the Indians' runs in six innings of work.
