BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Orioles have been smacking the baseball all over the park lately, and the best part about their offensive barrage is theres no telling who the star will be in any particular game. Bob Cousy Jersey. Steve Pearce became the latest role player to make an impression, hitting his first homer of the season and driving in a career-high five runs, and the Orioles cruised past the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-6 Thursday night for a three-game sweep. Matt Wieters had four hits and five RBIs, and Mark Reynolds contributed four hits and a home run to help Baltimore win its fifth straight. The only other time the Orioles had two players with at least five RBIs was on June 13, 1999, when Cal Ripken had six and Will Clark tallied five in a 22-1 rout of Atlanta. Pearce was toiling in the New York Yankees farm system earlier this month before Baltimore got him for cash. On this night, he was worth his weight in gold. "Taking advantage of the opportunity, providing some versatility, putting some good at-bats together in a very short look so far," manager Buck Showalter said of the newcomer. The same can be said for Steve Tolleson, whose homer off Cliff Lee last weekend sparked a comeback win over Philadelphia. "Weve got a lot of guys who can do that. It really gives us versatility in the lineup," said Chris Davis, who scored three runs. Said Showalter: "Youre going to have some situations where in order to remain consistent as a club youre going to have to have some of your depth come up and make a contribution. Thats been the case so far." With Pearce and Wieters leading the way, Baltimore built a 10-0 lead. Much of the damage came against former Oriole Erik Bedard, who yielded seven runs and eight hits in 3 1-3 innings. The 12 runs and 16 hits were season highs for Baltimore. The Orioles hit eight doubles, their most since amassing nine against the Angels on Aug. 14, 2009. "Early on we were pitching really well, winning a lot of close games," Davis said. "Now were scoring a lot of runs. As of late the bats have started to heat up and the pitching has still been there. Its kind of the offences turn to pull their weight." Baltimore moved 11 games over .500 (37-26) and within a half-game of the first-place Yankees in the AL East. The Orioles outscored Pittsburgh 27-13 in their fifth series sweep of the year, matching their total from last season. Rod Barajas homered for the Pirates, who came to Camden Yards tied for first place and riding a four-game winning streak. The only other time Pittsburgh was swept this season was April 10-12 by the Los Angeles Dodgers. "The skys not going to be falling now that we got swept here in Baltimore," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We are looking forward to getting out of here, I can tell you that. We got wiped out here. We got outplayed for three days." Orioles starter Tommy Hunter (3-3) retired the first 12 batters he faced but ended up allowing five runs and seven hits in six innings. He was 0-2 in his previous seven starts since April 24. Bedard (4-7) struggled from the outset in his worst outing since he allowed nine runs against the Yankees on May 28, 2008, as a member of the Seattle Mariners. It was Bedards second start in Baltimore since being traded to Seattle in February 2008; in those two games the left-hander yielded 10 runs over 6 2-3 innings. The Orioles sent eight batters to the plate in the first inning and scored all four runs with two outs. After Wieters hit an RBI single, Reynolds doubled in a run and Pearce added a two-run double. Doubles by Davis and Wieters made it 5-0 in the third. In the fourth, Wieters singled in two runs before Pearce launched a three-run shot off Doug Slaten. It was his first homer since May 25, 2011, with Pittsburgh. "It is nice playing against the Pirates," Pearce said. "It just feels good having a great game and helping contribute to this win." Hunters perfect outing was ruined when Andrew McCutchen singled leading off the fifth. Two outs later, Barajas hit a three-run drive. Pittsburgh closed to 10-5 in the sixth, but Baltimore got a run in the bottom half on successive doubles by Adam Jones and Wieters. Reynolds hit a solo shot in the eighth off Jared Hughes.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Strong play by the Memphis reserves early in the fourth period gave the Grizzlies a burst of energy down the stretch. The Memphis bench stayed even with the Indiana Pacers during the early stages of the final period, giving the Grizzlies starters the extra stamina for a 98-92 victory on Friday night. Rudy Gay scored 21 points, while Marreese Speights added a season-high 19 points and nine rebounds to lead the Grizzlies. But the post-game accolades went to the Memphis reserves. Mike Conley, who along with Marc Gasol had 15 points apiece, said the bench play gave the Memphis starters better legs as they pulled away at the end. "They let me and Marc rest until basically the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter," Conley said. "They actually extended the lead when they were out there. Thats what we need out of them. When you have that kind of output from the bench, that makes it easier on the starters coming in to sustain that lead." O.J. Mayo added 13 points for Memphis, which won its second straight. David West led the Pacers with 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field and 13 rebounds. Danny Granger had 19 points, and Dahntay Jones added 10 as a reserve, primarily on 7 of 8 from the free throw line. The teams were tied at 86 with 4:30 left, but Memphis outscored Indiana 12-6 the rest of the way, including converting 10-of-12 free throws down the stretch. Conley credited the extra rest the starters got before entering in the fourth quarter. "It gives you a little more energy and you are able to play harder for a longer period of time," Conley said. "The most important time is the fourth quarter. The last four or five minutes of the game is where its crunch time and you have to make the right decisions. Having your legs is a big part of that." Indiana controlled the boards 48-37, including 16 offensive rebounds, helping the Pacers to 17 second-chance points. But Indiana committed 15 turnovers and shot only 39 per cent, including Paul George missing 11 of his 13 shots, and Roy Hibbert going 1 for 7. "The biggest difference was the willingness to win," Pacers guard Darren Collison said. "They had a little bit more will than us. They wanted it more, and thats something we just cant have." The halftime score of 47-47 was representative of a first half that had 11 lead changes and 12 ties. Memphhis held an early seven-point lead, but once the Pacers pulled back into it, the game settled into a tight matchup. Wholesale NHL Jerseys The Pacers biggest lead of the half was five points. Granger had 11 points and West 10 to lead Indiana. Speights had 14 points, hitting six of his eight shots in the half, finishing the night 8 of 13. As he has in recent games, Speights, acquired from Philadelphia in a three-team trade Jan. 4, provided the early spark. "I know all the games are going to start off like that," Speights said. "I just go out there with a little more energy and try to get on the boards early and start the momentum." Neither team shot particularly well, and the Pacers might have extended their advantage a little more in the half, but they were an uncharacteristic 11 of 21 from the free-throw line, part of Indiana going 26 for 37. "I think that was a big reason we lost the game honestly," Granger said of the missed first-half free throws. "... We should have been up eight or seven or six or five going into halftime if we make half of those." Eight turnovers compared to three by Memphis didnt help Indiana either. West already had nine rebounds and George eight rebounds as the Pacers held a 28-19 advantage on the glass, including nine offensive rebounds leading to 12 second-chance points. The game remained close in the third was tied at 73 heading into the fourth. The teams were still even at 77 when Memphis scored nine unanswered points for its biggest lead of the game, 86-77 on Gays three-point play with 7:04 left. Indiana answered with a 9-0 run to make it 86-86, the 17th tie of the game. "It took defence. Its always about defence," Gasol said. "We had key stops and key rebounds and we were able to make shots and our free throws."
