Miami ? The Houston Astros finally found the right combination to end their road woes: a bloop RBI single, a sacrifice fly and Roger Clemens.

With seven shutout innings from Clemens and an offensive outburst — by the Astros’ feeble standards, that is — they broke an 11-game road losing streak Monday and beat the Florida Marlins 2-1.

Orlando Palmeiro, who came into the game with one RBI, drove in both runs. Houston has scored 11 runs in seven starts by Clemens (2-1), who won for the first time since April 8.

“Once we got the two runs, it felt like a lot,” Clemens said. “You just try not to make any mistakes.”

The Astros improved to 2-14 on the road, winning away from Houston for the first time since April 15. They bounced back from a 16-0 loss Sunday at Atlanta, their sixth consecutive defeat.

Clemens earned his 20th win with the Astros and the 330th of his career, moving him ahead of Steve Carlton into sole possession of ninth place on the all-time list.

“It means a lot,” Clemens said. “It definitely puts in perspective what type of career Carlton had.”

The start was Clemens’ first in Miami since the 2003 World Series, a game touted then as the last of his career. That game drew 65,934 fans. Attendance for Clemens’ return was 20,539.

The 42-year-old right-hander outpitched A.J. Burnett, allowing just four hits and stranding four runners at second base to lower his ERA to 1.10. He has yet to allow a run on the road in 21 innings.

“He’s fantastic,” manager Phil Garner said. “He has pitched like this every game. Tonight we put a couple of runs on the board and it stood up.”

Houston's Roger Clemens pumps his fist after fanning a Florida batter. Houston beat Florida, 2-1, Monday in Miami.
