Manny Ramirez squelched a potential tiebreaking rally in the ninth inning by throwing out Brandon Fahey at third base.
Then the Boston left fielder picked on his Baltimore counterpart one more time.
Ramirez singled with two on and nobody out in the 10th, and Fahey ran past it for a game-ending error on Saturday as the Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit to force extra innings and beat the Orioles 8-7.
"That's not an easy way to win a game," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "But we really had no choice."
Ramirez lined one between short and third to extend his hitting streak to 27 games, the longest active streak in the majors.
