Edgar Martinez's prolific career is coming to an end, and Pat Burrell's season is already over.

John Gibbons, however, is off to a good start as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Martinez, a two-time AL batting champion, said Monday that he will retire at the end of the season, ending his 18-year career with the Seattle Mariners as one of baseball's greatest designated hitters.

"He's the best DH of all-time. Just a classy person. He's got Hall of Fame numbers," said Tampa Bay's Lou Piniella, who managed Martinez in Seattle. "He's one of the best right-handed hitters I've ever seen. As he got older, he hit for more power, and that's pretty incredible."

The Phillies must make do down the stretch without one of their most powerful hitters because Burrell will have season-ending wrist surgery Friday, another blow to Philadelphia's playoff hopes.

Burrell, injured in batting practice last Tuesday, is hitting .263 with 18 homers and 68 RBIs.

"It's terrible. The timing is awful," Burrell said. "I can take a chance that it heals, but there's no guarantee. There's ligament and tendon damage. I wasn't anticipating anything serious."

Philadelphia also is missing closer Billy Wagner, starting pitcher Kevin Millwood and top setup man Ryan Madson. Third baseman David Bell is day-to-day with back spasms, and right-hander Vicente Padilla is due to return from the disabled list Tuesday.

The Phillies did get some help for their ailing rotation Monday, acquiring right-hander Cory Lidle from Cincinnati for two minor leaguers and a player to be named.

In New York, Toronto won in Gibbons' first game as manager, beating the Yankees 5-4 to stop a five-game losing streak.

Gibbons, who took over as interim manager when Carlos Tosca was fired Sunday, became the first visiting manager in 44 years to win his major league debut at Yankee Stadium. "You can't pick a better place," Gibbons said.

Gabe Gross connected off Esteban Loaiza (9-6) for his first major league home run, and Josh Towers (7-4) took a shutout into the seventh inning.

Also Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers got good news about injured pitcher Brad Penny, who is expected to miss only one start with a strained right biceps.

Martinez, 41, is a seven-time All-Star. He has batted over .300 in 10 seasons, and led the league in hitting in 1992 and 1995.

He rarely showed emotion on the field, but choked up while calling it quits. Former Seattle slugger Jay Buhner and several players turned out to support Martinez, and team chairman Howard Lincoln said Martinez's No. 11 would be retired.

Martinez has been a hitting machine, spraying extra-base hits to all fields. Five-plus years from now, he could become a test case for whether a player who spent most of his career as a DH should be elected to the Hall of Fame.

"Obviously, it's very hard," Martinez said. "As a player, I feel in my mind and my heart that I want to keep playing, but my body's saying something different."
