BALTIMORE (AP) — Adam Jones has done a wonderful job on and off the field during his 11 years with the Baltimore Orioles.The five-time All-Star ranks high on many of the team’s career batting lists and has become an integral part of the community.But his future with the organization remains in doubt Hector Rondon Jersey , so this weekend has served as a tentative Camden Yards farewell to a fan favorite.With the Orioles in rebuild mode and Jones two months removed from celebrating his 33rd birthday, the team has to decide if it wants to bring him back when his contract expires after this season.“Who holds the cards? Now, we kind of both do,” Jones said Saturday. “But I’m not the one making business decisions on their regard. All I can do is make a business decision on my behalf.”Seems as if he would love to be back.Jones has made a family in Baltimore, built a heck of a career and been part of countless charitable causes. He spurned a chance in July to join the contending Philadelphia Phillies as a corner outfielder, evoking his no-trade clause to stay with a team that will finish with the worst record in the majors.“I nixed the no-trade because it was not a good move for Adam Jones going forward,” said Jones, Baltimore’s center fielder from 2008 to late this season, when he moved to right to make room for prospect Cedric Mullins. “It wasn’t the best move for Adam going into free agency, to platoon in a position I was not playing.”Jones is on the Orioles’ top-10 lists for games Anthony Gose Jersey , hits, RBIs, runs, homers and total bases.“There are some great players on that list,” he said. “It’s great to be in that conversation, but there’s still a lot to be done to rise on that list.”Jones received a standing ovation before every at-bat in Friday night’s game against Houston, and the practice is expected to continue through the season finale Sunday.His gritty style would be missed, as would his charitable work. The Baltimore Orioles Charitable Foundation, Jones and his wife, Audie http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-jimmy-wynn-jersey , this week jointly donated $150,000 to a variety of nonprofit organizations.“It’s not like you have to do it,” Jones said. “Athletes don’t have to anything but show up to work.”Jones shows up for work, even after spending an afternoon dedicating a Little League ballpark or visiting kids at a summer camp.“It’s just something he wants to do,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “You do it because it’s right. Adam wants to do it with a purpose.” TORONTO (AP) — In one productive inning, Cleveland catcher Roberto Perez snapped the longest homer drought of his career and boosted his season RBI total by 50 percent.Perez hit his first home run since April 10 and drove in a career-high four, Michael Brantley had a two-run shot and the Indians outslugged the Toronto Blue Jays 9-8 on Saturday, helping Cleveland inch closer to clinching a playoff berth.The Indians dropped their magic number to five for a third straight AL Central title.All of Perez’s RBIs came in Cleveland’s seven-run fifth inning. He began the outburst with a leadoff drive off right-hander Sean Reid-Foley, snapping a 50-game drought. Three batters later, Brantley connected Francisco Liriano Jersey , his 15th. Blue Jays pitchers issued five walks in the inning, including four straight at one stretch, the last of which was a bases-loaded walk to Jason Kipnis. Perez followed with a three-run double.“It feels good,” Perez said. “I’ve been working hard every day, coming in and doing my routine, and it’s paying off. It was just a matter of time. It’s been a long season. Hopefully I turn it on from now on.”Perez raised his average from .148 to .157 and increased his RBI total from eight to 12.“He put together one heck of a day,” Indians right-hander Adam Plutko said. “Even behind the dish, he stopped a few balls late in the game. He did a great job today.”Brantley returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games because of a sore left foot and went 2 for 4 with two walks.“We knew he was OK but it’s always nice to have him,” manager Terry Francona said.Josh Tomlin (1-5) got two outs for the win and Cody Allen, Cleveland’s seventh pitcher of the game http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-charlie-morton-jersey , pitched around a one-out double in the ninth to earn his 26th save.Randal Grichuk homered twice for the Blue Jays, his fourth career multihomer game, and Rowdy Tellez hit his first career homer. The Blue Jays lost despite outhitting the Indians 18-11.“A little bit of a crazy game,” Francona said.Reid-Foley (1-3) made his fourth career start and allowed six runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings. He walked a season-high five and struck out three.“If I have to trip on a couple of curbs and learn from it, I still have to keep my head up and have fun,” Reid-Foley said.Justin Shafer relieved and threw 10 consecutive balls. Perez’s bases-clearing double came on Shafer’s 12th pitch.Grichuk connected off Adam Plutko in the third, and he and Tellez chased Plutko by going back-to-back in the fifth. Grichuk’s homers were his 20th and 21st.The home run was Tellez’s seventh extra-base hit, the most by any player over his first four games since 1913.“It’s one of those surreal moments that you just dream about,” Tellez said. “It was pretty cool to do it here in front of the home fans.”Plutko matched his career worst by allowing five runs and gave up a career-high nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.Aledmys Diaz had four hits for Toronto, including three doubles.18 ISN’T ENOUGHThe Blue Jays lost a game in which they had 18 or more hits for the first time since a 10-inning road defeat to the Yankees on Sept. 22 Andy Pettitte Jersey , 2007. The Indians won when allowing 18 or more hits for the first time since Aug. 23, 2006.SEVEN UPCleveland has had six seven-run innings this season, including three against Toronto.CRAZY EIGHTTellez is the first Blue Jays player with eight hits in his first four games. Danny Ainge, Aaron Hill, Lloyd Moseby and Travis Snider each had seven.TRAINER’S ROOMIndians: Josh Donaldson (left calf) made his second straight start at third base for Double-A Akron and went 1 for 3 in five innings. Donaldson will work out with the Indians in Tampa Bay on Monday and could be activated off the disabled list Tuesday.UP NEXTIndians RHP Mike Clevinger (10-7, 3.17) faces Blue Jays LHP Thomas Pannone (1-1, 4.58) in Sunday’s series finale. Clevinger has won four straight decisions and is unbeaten since July 28 at Detroit. Pannone, a former Indians minor leaguer, will make his third major league start in place of injured RHP Marcus Stroman (blister).
