BALTIMORE -- This is how good things are going for the Orioles at home this season: After blowing a late-inning lead, Baltimore launched the game-winning uprising with a third strike.Pinch-hitter Nolan Reimold hit a decisive two-out homer in the ninth inning after Pedro Alvarez reached on a strikeout, and the Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians 5-3 Sunday for a three-game sweep.Cody Allen (2-4) began the ninth by striking out Alvarez, but the ball eluded catcher Roberto Perez. After fielding the bouncing ball off the backstop, Perez hit Alvarez in the helmet with the throw for an error.As long as I have been playing baseball the rule is you run down the baseline, Alvarez said. I saw the ball get away from him and I just ran down to first base.A sacrifice bunt and a strikeout followed before Reimold lined a 2-0 pitch into the left-field seats.I was taking the first pitch, trying to get comfortable, Reimold said. After that, I got up 2-0 and I was ready to hit. I figured he would try to throw a fastball there.The Indians catchers often practice the throw to first after a dropped third strike, but Perez still evidently has some work to do.I dont think he rushed. He didnt move his feet, manager Terry Francona said. We talk to him about that all the time. You dont want somebody to learn a lesson the hard way, and he did.Jonathan Schoop also homered for the AL East-leading Orioles, who won the season series from Cleveland 5-1 and improved their home record to 36-14.I dont know what it is, but for some reason when we come home we do seem to play all-around better, starter Vance Worley said.Activated from the disabled list before the game, Darren ODay (7-1) struck out the side in the ninth.Filling a void at the end of the Baltimore rotation, Worley allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings. Making his fourth start, the right-hander retired the final 11 batters he faced in his longest outing since September 2014, with Pittsburgh against Milwaukee.Worley left with a 3-2 lead, but All-Star reliever Brad Brach promptly allowed an unearned run in the eighth. After Schoop fumbled a grounder to second base, Mike Napoli snapped an 0-for-11 skid with an RBI single.Cleveland starter Corey Kluber gave up three runs and six hits in seven innings. He struck out eight,The Indians went up 2-0 in the fourth on an RBI double by Tyler Naquin and a sacrifice fly by Perez, who earlier got his first hit in 17 at-bats this season.Baltimore tied it in the bottom half, courtesy of an overturned call following a challenge by the Orioles. After Manny Machado singled in a run, Alvarez hit into an apparent inning-ending double play with runners on the corners. But he earned an RBI after a replay review showed he was safe at first base.After hitting a double and scoring Baltimores first run in the fourth inning, Schoop delivered a solo shot in the fifth for a 3-2 lead. It was his career-high 17th home run, eclipsing the 16 he hit in 2014.BALL THREE, NOT FOURMachado was picked off first base in the eighth inning after Chris Davis took a pitch outside the strike zone, dropped his bat and headed from the batters box. Davis thought it was ball four, but the count actually moved to 3-2. Machado was swayed by his teammates action and strayed off the base before being thrown out by Perez.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: 3B Juan Uribe returned to the starting lineup for the first time since being hit in the head with a pitch on Friday night.Orioles: OF Hyun Soo Kim (hamstring) began a two-day rehabilitative assignment with Double-A Bowie.

Custom Ottawa Senators Jerseys . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. RALEIGH, N.C. -- A loss forced North Carolina State to re-evaluate itself. One of the Wolfpacks key conclusions: They cant afford another one this week.N.C. State looks to move on from its loss at East Carolina on Saturday night when Old Dominion visits.The Wolfpack (1-1) are coming off a mistake-filled 33-30 loss to the Pirates in which they allowed 445 total yards, let them complete more than 75 percent of their passes and flubbed a series of special-teams plays.We watched that, we corrected that and were going to turn everything we have over to ODU, coach Dave Doeren said. Im not going to sit around and dwell on the past. Weve got 10 (games) in front of me and Im going to do everything I can to help our players and coaches learn from it, have a 1-0 mentality and make up for it as the season goes on. Thats the only thing that we can do around here.The Monarchs (1-1) were equally frustrated during their 31-7 loss at Appalachian State , though they allowed only 97 total yards in the second half. Theyll play at Carter-Finley Stadium for the second time in three years, and will play the Wolfpack for the third straight year after losing the first two meetings by a combined 84-48.This team can handle going on the road, Old Dominion coach Bobby Wilder said. Obviously, the results (have) got to be better but they can handle the atmosphere. Theyll handle the environment this weekend. ... They love it, theyre up for the challenge. They know were going to be huge underdogs going into this game but theyre excited to play.---Some things to know about the Old Dominion-N.C. State game:WOLFPACK OFFENSE: N.C. State certainly showed its new offense can move thee ball, with QB Ryan Finley throwing for 254 yards and a touchdown last week.dddddddddddd The Wolfpack have gained at least 500 total yards in both games with new coordinator Eli Drinkwitz. Old Dominion could test them, only allowing 361.5 total yards per game.PLAYMAKERS: Its no secret N.C. State wants to get the ball to RB Matt Dayes and FB Jaylen Samuels. Dayes ranks third in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 241 yards rushing while Samuels has four touchdowns this season -- three rushing, one receiving. Thats made Finleys transition to the Wolfpack that much easier. A guy makes plays like that, youve got to get him the ball as much as you can, Finley said of Samuels.LAYING DOWN THE LAWRY: Old Dominion RB Ray Lawry has rushed for 100 yards in both games, including a 119-yard effort against Appalachian State, and has breakaway speed once he gets through the line . He should provide a strong test for an N.C. State defense that is giving up 105 yards per game on the ground.ODU VS. POWER FIVE: Since the Monarchs restarted their program in 2009, they have yet to beat a team from a power conference and are 0-6 against teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference. Theyve come close, though, losing by nine points at Pittsburgh in 2013 and by 12 in their previous visit to N.C. State. They basically know, we dont have anything to lose, were not expected to win, Wilder said. But what I want our guys thinking ... is `Lets go make history, lets go do something special.---OnlineAP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
