Thome hits his 610th home run

Jim Thome doesn't play for Cleveland anymore.

But he was in Cleveland today in a Baltimore uniform and hit his 610th career home run. Thome led off the fourth inning and connected off  Cleveland's Derek Lowe. It was the 41-year-old's first homer since being acquired by the Orioles from the Philadelphia Phillies on July 1. The home run was his sixth of the season and puts him seventh on the all-time list. The dinger allowed him to pass Sammy Soza (609) and he now needs 20 more to catch Ken Griffey Jr., who sits in sixth place with 630 round-trippers.
