CLEVELAND -- Jim Thome is still leaving his mark at Progressive Field.
A day after moving into sole possession of seventh place on the all-time home run list, Thome struck again. His two-run homer in the seventh inning led the Baltimore Orioles to their fourth straight victory, 3-1 over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday night.
Thome, who passed Sammy Sosa on the career list on Friday, hit his 611th -- and second with Baltimore since being acquired from Philadelphia on July 1. He homered off Zach McAllister (4-2) to wipe out a 1-0 deficit.
Chris Tillman (2-1) allowed only Shin-Soo Choo's leadoff homer in the first over 6 2/3 innings. The right-hander, making his third start of the season since being called up earlier this month, gave up six hits, struck out four and walked one.
