Robert Andino belted a three-run homer as the Baltimore Orioles rallied from an early deficit to post their second straight win, an 8-3 home triumph over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.
Nick Markakis homered for the second straight game, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters also went deep and J.J. Hardy added an RBI single as Baltimore recorded its third win in 17 contests.
Mark Hendrickson (1-0) relieved an ineffective Mitch Atkins and tossed three scoreless innings to pick up the win.
Travis Hafner and Carlos Santana belted back-to-back homers and Travis Buck added an RBI single for Cleveland, which fell back in a first-place tie with Detroit in the American League Central. The Tigers posted a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
The Indians' three-run first inning also produced an injury, as Grady Sizemore left the contest with a right knee contusion while legging out a bloop double.
Recalled from Triple-A Columbus prior to the game, Jeanmar Gomez (0-2) yielded five runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings to take the loss.
