Thome passes Sosa on HR list

* AMERICAN LEAGUE

Jim Thome hit his 610th career homer to move into seventh place on the career list and the visiting Baltimore Orioles pounded out a 10-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night.

Thome passed Sammy Sosa on the career list with a towering 418-foot shot off Derek Lowe to open the fourth inning.

"Nothing Jim does surprises me and I just feel pretty lucky to watch and enjoy it," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I'm glad he's passed our way. He sets a great example for everybody and works incredibly hard. He plays every game like it his first in Little League."
