Joba Chamberlain, making his fourth career start, struck out nine batters over 5 2/3 innings against the Padres. He threw 100 pitches, leaving a 1-1 ball game in the sixth.
Jose Veras, Kyle Farnsworth, and Mariano Rivera blanked San Diego over the least 3 1/3 innings, allowing the Yankees to win after Alex Rodriguez singled home Derek Jeter to give New York a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth.
At 40-33 the Yankees are seven games over .500, their highest mark of the season.
New York will host the Reds this weekend as interleague play continues.
