Tampa Bay had not won four straight since last Sept. 29-Aug. 1. Cleveland has lost four in a row.

After Geoff Blum made the first out in the 10th, Baldelli doubled to right. Riske walked Aubrey Huff intentionally, but also walked Jose Cruz Jr., setting up Martinez's heroics.

Riske (0-2) picked up the loss after relieving starter Cliff Lee. Travis Harper (1-0) pitched three scoreless innings in relief to earn the win.

Cleveland's Alex Escobar homered in the fourth to snap a 3-3 tie, but Toby Hall responded with a shot in the bottom of the inning to tie the score.
