Bigbie's homer drops Tribe

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Larry Bigbie homered off Chad Durbin leading off the 10th inning, giving the Baltimore Orioles a 3-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night.
Rafael Palmeiro also homered for the Orioles, who won for only the fourth time in 11 games.
After Durbin (2-3) entered in the 10th, Bigbie ended a 3-for-19 skid by sending his second pitch into the bleacher seats in right-center for his fifth home run of the season.
Third time for Durbin
It was the third time this season that Durbin has yielded a game-ending homer. He came in with a 12.66 ERA.
Jorge Julio (1-0), the sixth Baltimore pitcher, worked the 10th for the win.
Ronnie Belliard had three hits for the Indians, who fell to 4-9 on the road.
Cleveland loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth before B.J. Ryan struck out Victor Martinez on an 0-2 pitch. Martinez went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and is hitless in his last 11 at-bats.
Baltimore rookie Erik Bedard, vying for his first big league victory, was pulled after five innings with the Orioles down 2-1. He allowed one earned run and five hits, his most effective performance in four starts this season.
Tribe scores first
The Indians got a run in the first when Belliard hit a leadoff single and scored on a double by Jody Gerut. An RBI double by Miguel Tejada tied it in the bottom half.
Cleveland used a single, an error and a hit batter to load the bases with two outs in the fifth before Bedard walked cleanup hitter Victor Martinez to force in a run. Omar Vizquel was then cut down trying to steal home.
Palmeiro evened the score in the sixth, driving an 0-1 pitch far over the 25-foot scoreboard in right. It was the first homer allowed by Cliff Lee in six starts this season.
Lee gave up two runs and five hits in six innings.

The Indians optioned RHP Kazuhito Tadano to Triple-A Buffalo to make room for RHP Jose Jimenez, who was activated from the disabled list and pitched two scoreless innings. ... All four of Palmeiro's homers have been solo shots. ... Last Sunday's rain-postponed game between the Cleveland Indians and Baltimore Orioles has been rescheduled for 1:05 p.m. June 14 at Jacobs Field. June 14 had been an off day for both clubs. The game will extend an Indians' six-game homestand to seven games. It adds an extra date to an Orioles six-game road trip.
