Martinez came off the bench to single in the tying run in the seventh inning, then doubled home an insurance run after Jason Bay’s(notes) tiebreaking homer in the eighth and Boston went on to beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Tuesday night.
Jacoby Ellsbury(notes) had three hits to go with his franchise-record 55th stolen base, and Jonathan Papelbon(notes), confident that newly acquired left-hander Billy Wagner(notes) won’t be taking his closer’s job, pitched the ninth for his 30th save. Papelbon is the second pitcher, along with Billy Koch, to reach 30 saves in each of his first four seasons.
Manny Delcarmen(notes) (5-2) got one out to escape a first-and-third jam in the eighth to earn the win.
