BALTIMORE

Brandon Workman allowed one hit over 6.2 innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat Chris Tillman and the Baltimore Orioles, 1-0 on Tuesday night for their second win in eight games.

Mike Napoli’s third-inning RBI single was all the offense the Red Sox needed to come out on the positive end of a pitcher’s duel for the first time this season. Boston was 0-18 when scoring fewer than three runs.

Workman (1-0) walked one and struck out four in earning his first win as a starter since last July. The righthander held the Orioles hitless until Ryan Flaherty lined a soft single to center with two outs in the sixth.

Baltimore’s only other hit was a single by Steve Pearce in the ninth off Koji Uehara, who earned his 13th save. Workman will have a hearing Friday on his appeal of a six-game suspension. He was suspended after the league determined he was intentionally throwing in the “head area” of Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria on May 30.

After retiring Nick Markakis to end the sixth inning, Workman got two straight outs in the seventh before being lifted. It was the longest outing of a 27-game career that includes seven starts.

Tillman (5-3) gave up one run and seven hits in six innings. It was his first loss in six starts since May 11.

Tillman got off to a rocky start following the second rain delay. Brock Holt led off the third with a single, David Ortiz walked and Napoli delivered a two-out, opposite-field RBI single to right
