St. Petersburg, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Nelson Cruz put the Baltimore Orioles on his back to help them avoid one of their longest road losing streaks in three seasons.

Cruz went 4-for-5 with two homers, including the game-winner in the 11th inning, and drove in all seven runs for the O's in a 7-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

"It was great," said Cruz. "It wasn't pretty but you know we're a pretty good team, so we get it done. We get a win."

Baltimore snapped its five-game road losing streak that marked the longest since a seven-game slide in July 2011.

Brad Brach (6-1) grabbed the win for pitching a scoreless 10th inning, then Andrew Miller came on in the 11th and struck out the side for his first save of the season.

Cesar Ramos (2-6) took the loss after allowing the two-run shot to Cruz.

"You can look at that last inning and see that home run, but we had many opportunities," said Rays manager Joe Maddon.

With Tampa up 4-2 in the ninth, three straight singles from the Orioles loaded the bases off Joel Peralta. Following a strikeout of Delmon Young, Cruz laced a bases-clearing triple to right that briefly gave the visitors their first lead of the game.

Evan Longoria reached on a throwing error by Ryan Flaherty to start the home ninth and James Loney singled to left. Brandon Guyer moved both runners over with a bunt preceding Sean Rodriguez's RBI groundout which tied the game.

Cruz, who finished a double shy of the cycle, followed a Nick Hundley walk in the 11th with his MLB-leading 39th homer of the season.

Earlier, Tampa Bay's primary offense came via the solo home run. A pair of solo shots helped the Rays to a 2-0 lead in the first, with Longoria going deep before Loney launched one over the wall in right.

David DeJesus then connected with an inside-the-park homer in the fourth to extend the cushion to 3-0.

Cruz, however, brought the O's within one with a two-run shot to left in the sixth inning.

Kiermaier knocked a homer off Baltimore starter Bud Norris to increase the lead to 4-2 before each team's closer blew a save in the ninth.
