BALTIMORE, June 12 (UPI) -- Adam Jones went 4-for-5 with a solo homer and two RBI Tuesday, leading a 15-hit attack in the Baltimore Orioles' 8-6 interleague win over Pittsburgh.

Chris Davis and Mark Reynolds each connected for two-run home runs and Brian Roberts went 3-for-4 with an RBI for the Orioles in his first major league game in more than a year.

J.J. Hardy added a pair of hits, including an RBI single for Baltimore, which has won three straight and climbed into a tie with Toronto for second place in the American League East, one game behind the New York Yankees.
