BALTIMORE -
Brian Roberts returned from a 13-month layoff to get three hits and an RBI, and the Baltimore Orioles homered three times in an 8-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.
Activated from the 60-day disabled list before the game, Roberts went 3 for 4 with a sacrifice fly.
Playing in the majors for the first time since sustaining a concussion on May 16, 2011, Baltimore's longtime leadoff hitter received a standing ovation from the crowd of 15,618 in the bottom of the first inning before lining a single up the middle.
The two-time All-Star second baseman also singled in the fourth and eighth.
Adam Jones had four hits, including a homer, and Mark Reynolds and Chris Davis also connected for the Orioles.
