BALTIMORE -- Limited to three hits over seven innings, the Baltimore Orioles turned to their reliable, standard weapon -- the home run -- to pull out a comeback victory over the New York Yankees. Jonathan Schoop and Adam Jones connected in a four-run eighth inning, and Baltimore completed a two-game sweep of the rain-shortened series with a 5-3 win Wednesday night. The Orioles lead the majors with 152 home runs, are 35-10 when hitting more than one and 58-25 when going deep at least once. After Schoop tied it with a drive off Dellin Betances, Shawn Kelley (2-4) gave up a single and a walk before Jones hit a shot into the bullpen area beyond the centre-field wall. "When were down by one we always feel were just one pitch away," Jones said. "So that happened, and once we tie the game all the marbles are up. First one to score one wins." Jones made it happen. As the ball dropped over the fence for his 23rd home run, he raised his right arm in triumph as he rounded first base. "Big spot, big home run," Jones said. "Nothing wrong with showing a little emotion here and there." Darren ODay (4-1) worked the eighth and Zach Britton gave up a run in the ninth en route to his 25th save. It was the eighth straight series win for the AL East-leading Orioles, who increased their margin over the fading third-place Yankees to eight games. Baltimore is 8-3 against New York this season, outscoring the Yankees 60-31. "Its tough right now because they are hitting very good," New Yorks Francisco Cervelli said. "Theyve got a couple of hitters who are really hot right now." Yankees manager Joe Girardi missed the finish after being ejected in the seventh inning by home plate umpire Gerry Davis. Girardi was furious after Davis called New Yorks Stephen Drew out for running in the baseline on his way to first base. "Yeah, well, Gerry was wrong," Girardi said. Girardis second ejection of the year came with New York ahead 2-1 on the strength of Cervellis second home run of the year, a two-run drive in the third inning off Chris Tillman. The lead didnt stand up, and now the Yankees are stuck in a four-game skid and scrambling to stay in the playoff hunt. "Weve got to start winning series again," Girardi said. "We have not won the last two series and we put ourselves in a little bit of a hole." Making his first appearance in the big leagues since April 23, New York starter Michael Pineda retired the first 12 batters he faced before Nelson Cruz doubled to open the fifth. Pineda allowed one run and two hits over five innings. After being suspended for 10 games for using a foreign substance on the mound in April, the right-hander went on the disabled list with a shoulder muscle injury. He left after throwing 67 pitches. "We thought he started getting the ball up a little bit," Girardi said. Baltimore played without its two starters on the left side of the infield. Third baseman Manny Machado was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right knee ligament and shortstop J.J. Hardy missed a third straight game with a sprained left thumb. Tillman gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings. TRAINERS ROOM Yankees: After throwing fastballs off flat ground, RHP Masahiro Tanaka (elbow inflammation) said through an interpreter, "I feel good because everything is progressing in the way that I want it to." Girardi said, "Our hope is hell pitch in September." Orioles: Machado said his injury is "not as bad as we thought." Hardy hopes to return for the weekend series in Cleveland. UP NEXT Yankees: After taking Thursday off, the Yankees open a three-game series in Tampa Bay. Girardi has opted to start Hiroki Kuroda on Sunday instead of Chris Capuano. Orioles: Baltimore gets a day off before facing the Indians to launch a nine-game road trip that includes a weeks stay in Chicago, where it will face the White Sox and Cubs. BEAST IN THE EAST The Orioles are 30-19 against AL East foes, the best in-division record in the AL. New York is 21-25 in the division, which goes a long way toward explaining its deficit in the East. NFL Jerseys .

Cheap Jerseys From China . After a 99-97 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, his Celtics coaches and teammates have only positive things to say about the Toronto-born rookie.1) Theres just something so satisfying about watching a guy whos 59 dunk like hes 8 inches taller. Adams State Universitys Josh Kioh takes flight with a bounce pass alley-oop 360. We dont know who soared in the air for longer, Kioh, or the kids flying around the gym after the destruction.2) Fans argue day and night about whos currently the best in-game dunker in the NBA (we here at Bar Down certainly do), and with one insane through the legs dunk, college player Brandon Peters can enter the conversation. Dont agree? Check the slow-mo.3) Well admit, the first time we watched this the handspring at the beginning kind of looked like a gimmick. But upon review, we realized the handspring pretty much means dunker Justin Darlington is essentially doing a through the legs from flat with no run up. Yikes! 4) We already loved the dunk, but add a clip from the movie Friday and youve got yourself one of the best Vine dunks going. A through the legs dunk off a wall? "Daaaaaamn" indeed.5) Okay, so earlier we said props were kind of lame, but lets reiterate. Props are lame, unless that prop is FIRE. A very odd choice of music considering the obvious choice shouldve been the menu music from NBA Jam, featuring announcer Tim Kitzrow yelling "HES ON FIRE."6) Forget what you hheard, good things come in twos.dddddddddddd Kenny Dobbs makes his second appearance on the list with a Vine that includes two dunks, and a dunk that includes two basketballs. 7) Sometimes the beauty of a dunk doesnt come from the technicality, but simply from how stylish it looks. This reverse dunk looks wildly out of control as soon as the dunker takes off, but thats what makes it so amazing. If any dunking video needs plane sound effects, its this one.8) At one point in this Vine the ball looks like its 20 feet in the air, which is approximately the height high schooler Javonte Douglas reaches to finish the put back slam. Hyperbole? Maybe. Insanity? Definitely.9) Justin Darlington makes his second appearance on this list, and all it took was an under the legs dunk over someone. You may still be questioning his first dunk, but consider this, Darlington can jump so high he can sit on top of your head without the use of his hands.10) We end our list on a light note. Some of you may remember the "dunk cam" craze that took over vine last year, but for those of you that dont all I can ask is, "why are you disturbing my class?" Hope you enjoyed our list, and try your best not to get dunked on unexpectedly, because the dunk cam might be watching! ' ' '
