Wells, Yankees shut out Orioles

BALTIMORE -- It was just like old times for New York: David Wells pitched marvelously into the eighth inning, and Mariano Rivera took care of the ninth as the Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 1-0 Wednesday.

New York's first win of the season did have a twist, however, as newcomer Robin Ventura homered in the seventh off Jason Johnson to break up an outstanding pitching duel.

Signed by New York as a free agent in January, Wells (1-0) looked every bit as good as he did during his first stint with the Yankees.

Devil Rays 2, Tigers 1

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Randy Winn snapped an 0-for-10 streak with an RBI single in the 12th inning that lifted the Tampa Bay Devil Rays over the Detroit Tigers.

Twins 1, Royals 0

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Eric Milton gave up two first-inning singles, then retired 19 batters in a row to pitch the Minnesota Twins over the Kansas City Royals.

Milton (1-0), who was 15-7 last season, struck out two and did not give up a walk in seven crisp innings while outdueling Dan Reichert (0-1).

Eddie Guardado pitched the ninth for his second save.-- From wire reports
