Boston ? Pedro Martinez outpitched David Wells and managed to stay around long enough to beat San Diego.

Martinez threw eight innings of two-hit ball, and Johnny Damon doubled in a run after Wells was lifted from a scoreless game Tuesday night to give the Boston Red Sox a 1-0 victory over the Padres.

It was the first 1-0 game at Fenway since Mike Mussina came within one out of a perfect game in a Yankees victory on Sept. 2, 2001. Boston’s last 1-0 victory was almost four years ago.

“We don’t get to see too many of those,” Damon said. “We’d love to score more runs and pad our stats a little. These games aren’t great for the hitters, but they’re great for the pitchers.”

Martinez (6-3) rebounded from an 11-hit, seven-run outing with his best game of the year, putting up a season high in innings and a season low in hits allowed. He struck out eight, walked one and hit a batter; only one Padre reached third base against him — Terrence Long after his fifth-inning double.

“It was fun,” Martinez said after beating the Padres in their first visit to Fenway Park. “That was a team that had a lot of strangers there, and I didn’t know what to expect. But it was fun to actually give the fans what they expect.”

No one was sure what to expect from Wells, who was returning from a freak household accident that put him on the disabled list May 18. He pitched 52/3 shutout innings, allowing six hits and striking out two; he shook his head disbelievingly when manager Bruce Bochy took him out after 81 pitches.

“I still felt strong, but he told me, ‘It’s been awhile. I don’t want to burn you out,'” Wells said. “I can understand where he’s coming from. But you get caught up in the moment.”

Bochy wasn’t surprised that Wells lobbied to stay in.

Boston's Pedro Martinez delivers against San Diego. Martinez pitched two-hit ball for eight innings, and the Red Sox defeated the Padres, 1-0, Tuesday in Boston.

“He’s always going to say he’s fine. That’s the type of competitor he is,” Bochy said. “It was the right thing to do.”

Keith Foulke pitched the ninth for his 12th save in 13 opportunities.

David Ortiz and Jason Varitek singled off Wells in the sixth, but Antonio Osuna (1-1) got Kevin Millar on a flyout to right to end the inning.

Yankees 2, Rockies 1

New York — Javier Vazquez won his fourth straight start, pitching into the eighth inning to lead New York past Colorado in the Rockies’ first visit to Yankee Stadium. Vazquez (7-4) retired his first 13 batters, struck out six and gave up five hits in seven-plus innings for the Yankees, who got a two-run single from Jason Giambi to win for the 12th time in 14 games. The AL East leaders, playing their first interleague game this season, have the best record in the major leagues at 36-20.

Astros 1, Mariners 0

Seattle — Roger Clemens became the oldest pitcher to win his first nine decisions, allowing three hits in 62/3 shutout innings to lead Houston over Seattle. The 41-year-old Clemens (9-0), backed by Morgan Ensberg’s seventh-inning sacrifice fly off Joel Pineiro (1-8), got his 319th win to move past Phil Niekro into sole possession of 14th place on the career list.

The six-time Cy Young Award winner struck out seven, increasing his total to 4,187, and walked a season-high five. Clemens improved to 23-14 against Seattle, the most wins by a pitcher against the Mariners.

A crowd of 34,238 gave Clemens a standing ovation when he left in the seventh.

Blue Jays 7, Dodgers 1

Toronto — Ted Lilly won his fifth straight decision, and Howie Clark hit his first major-league home run and drove in a career-high four runs, leading Toronto over Los Angeles. Lilly (5-2) hasn’t lost since April 21 at Boston — a span of nine starts. The 28-year-old left-hander also won his third consecutive start.

D’backs 8, Orioles 1

Baltimore — Randy Johnson won his fifth straight start, limiting Baltimore to three hits over seven innings in leading Arizona.

Braves 4, Tigers 3, 10 innings

Detroit — Danny Patterson’s throwing error allowed Mark De Rosa to score the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, and Atlanta beat Detroit. De Rosa led off the 10th with a long double to center, and Rafael Furcal sacrificed. Patterson (0-3) threw the ball into right field, allowing the run to score and Furcal to reach second. Nick Green also tried to sacrifice, but Patterson hit him. Jamie Walker retired the next three batters.

White Sox 14, Phillies 11

Chicago — Juan Uribe and Paul Konerko each homered twice, helping Chicago overcome a pair of three-run homers by Jim Thome and beat Philadelphia. Frank Thomas and Carlos Lee also connected for Chicago, whose six homers were one shy of the team record set in 1955 against Kansas City. Uribe turned on a 3-2 pitch in the first inning for a two-run homer and added a solo shot in the second, his ninth homer this season. He also doubled and finished 3-for-4 with four runs and three RBIs.

Twins 2, Mets 1

Minneapolis — Pinch-hitter Michael Cuddyer hit a game-winning RBI infield single in the ninth inning, scoring Jacque Jones from second base and giving Minnesota a victory over New York. Jones led off the ninth with a single off Mike Stanton (0-3). One out later, rookie Joe Mauer hit what appeared to be a double-play grounder, but shortstop Kaz Matsui misplayed the ball.

Giants 7, Devil Rays 3

St. Petersburg, Fla. — Michael Tucker hit a two-run homer to back Jerome Williams, and San Francisco defeated Tampa Bay. Barry Bonds went 1-for-2 with two walks in his first visit to Tropicana Field. He drove in a run when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh, then added a RBI single in the ninth. The game drew 13,275 — well below the 35,083 the Giants have averaged on the road in the NL.

Athletics 10, Reds 6

Oakland, Calif. — Ken Griffey Jr. failed to homer for the second straight game, and Damien Miller tied a career high with five RBIs to lead Oakland to its fourth straight victory. Griffey remained at 498 career homers, two away from becoming the 20th player with 500. He has nine homers is his last 17 games. Miller hit a bases-loaded double in the A’s five-run first inning off Jung Keun Bong (0-1), and doubled home two more runs in Oakland’s four-run fourth. That was more than enough cushion for Barry Zito (4-3), who won for only the second time in 10 starts.

Marlins 7, Indians 5

Cleveland — Miguel Cabrera and Damion Easley each homered off the left-field foul pole with two outs in the ninth inning, leading Florida over Cleveland. Cabrera tied it off Jose Jimenez (1-4) with his 14th homer — a shot that ricocheted off the top of the pole. Jeff Conine walked, and Easley followed by lining a shot that hit off the pole near the top of the wall.
