BOSTON (AP) -- Pedro Martinez earned another victory on Saturday and pushed his last loss even further from his memory.

"I only lost four times last year, why would I remember them?" he said after a 14-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics and Tim Hudson -- the last pitcher to beat him in his Cy Young Award-winning 1999 season. "I won 23 games last year. I remember those."

Asked if he had extra motivation on Saturday because he wanted avenge his last loss, Martinez said, "I have the same motivation all the time."

Martinez (3-0) allowed two runs, five hits and struck out nine in seven innings to beat Hudson (1-1), who won an Aug. 19, 1999 matchup at Fenway Park -- 13 appearances ago.

Miguel Tejada hit the game-winning homer in that game, and in his first at-bat on Saturday, Martinez plunked him with a fastball on the shoulder. But the two Dominicans insisted that there was no payback to the pitch.

"That pitch was completely out of control," said Martinez, who developed a reputation as a headhunter early in his career that has dissolved as his control improved. "Tejada's my good friend, my buddy. We hang around together.

"If you want to put it like I hit him on purpose, do that," he said, cutting off interviews.

Tejada said he didn't think Martinez hit him on purpose, either, noting that Martinez tipped his hat afterwards and asked how Tejada was as he walked to first.

"When he did that to me, that made me feel good. He showed me he didn't want to hit me," Tejada said. "Sometimes with a pitcher like Pedro we think every pitch is going to be a strike. And it's not that way."

Hudson allowed seven runs, six hits and four walks in 1 2-3 innings -- the shortest start of his career. The A's defense didn't help, committing four errors to account for three unearned runs to go with the one that scored on Ron Mahay's wild pitch.

Carl Everett was 3-for-4 with two doubles and Brian Daubach also had a pair of doubles for Boston. Manny Alexander tripled, scored three runs and drove in two on a day when Martinez said he never felt comfortable.

"If he didn't have his best stuff today, I don't want to see him again," A's first baseman Olmedo Saenz said. "I think he's the best pitcher in the game. When he's on top of his game, he controls the whole game."

Saenz hit a solo home run off Martinez in the second inning, and Oakland scored again off the ace when Rich Becker and Ben Grieve singled after Tejada was hit. But that just cut Boston's lead to 7-2.
