Daisuke Matsuzaka was the star attraction on Thursday afternoon in downtown Buffalo, but Fernando Martinez and the comeback Bisons stole the spotlight.

Martinez gave the Bisons their first walk-off victory of the season when he drove home Alex Cintron in the bottom of the 10th inning of a 3-2 win over the Pawtucket Red Sox.

UPDATE: Manager Ken Oberkfell’s post-game comments:

Leading off the home 10th, Cintron hit the first pitch up the middle for a single. Ruben Tejada laid down the sacrifice and Josh Thole drew the two-out walk to keep the inning alive. Fernando Martinez then drove a sharp grounder off the glove of PawSox first baseman Jorge Jimenez. The ball trickled into right field while Cintron raced home with the game-winning run.
