Boston, Sept. 9: A three-run double in the seventh by Victor Martinez put Boston in front Wednesday and the Red Sox produced 15 hits in downing Baltimore 7-5.

Baltimore took a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the sixth but the Red Sox then tied it on an RBI single by Dustin Pedroia and took the lead on the bases-loaded double by Martinez.

Boston maintained a two-game lead over Texas in the chase for the American League wild-card berth. The Red Sox are nine games behind first-place New York in the AL East with 23 games remaining.

Matt Albers (2-5) came on in the seventh for Baltimore with the score tied and gave up a leadoff single to Kevin Youkilis. Mark Hendrickson relieved Albers, struck out David Ortiz and then gave way to Danys Baez.

After Cesar Izturis and Brian Roberts walked off reliever Robinson Tejeda (1-1) to start the seventh, Jones doubled home Izturis to forge a 3-3 tie.

A single by Markakis delivered both Roberts and Jones for a 5-3 advantage.
