BALTIMORE -- There was something fundamentally wrong with the Cleveland Indians performance in a 5-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.A botched throw by catcher Roberto Perez enabled Pedro Alvarez to reach after a ninth-inning strikeout, and Nolan Reimold followed with a two-out homer to give the Orioles a three-game sweep of the AL Central leaders.Cleveland reliever Cody Allen (2-4) began the ninth by striking out Alvarez, but the ball eluded Perez. After fielding the bouncing ball off the backstop, Perez hit Alvarez in the helmet with the throw for an error.The Indians catchers often practice the throw to first after a dropped third strike, but Perez still evidently has some work to do.I dont think he rushed. He didnt move his feet, manager Terry Francona said. We talk to him about that all the time. You dont want somebody to learn a lesson the hard way, and he did.A sacrifice bunt and a strikeout followed before Reimold lined a 2-0 pitch into the left-field seats.I was taking the first pitch, trying to get comfortable, Reimold said. After that, I got up 2-0 and I was ready to hit. I figured he would try to throw a fastball there.Activated from the disabled list before the game, Darren ODay (7-1) struck out the side in the ninth.Cleveland lost the season series to AL East-leading Baltimore 5-1 after being outscored 15-6 in these three games at Camden Yards.Every time you go anywhere and get swept its not a good thing, second baseman Jason Kipnis said.

After Manny Machado singled in a run, Alvarez hit into an apparent inning-ending double play with runners on the corners. But he earned an RBI after a replay review showed he was safe at first base.After hitting a double and scoring Baltimores first run in the fourth inning, Schoop delivered a solo shot in the fifth for a 3-2 lead. It was his career-high 17th home run, eclipsing the 16 he hit in 2014.BALL THREE, NOT FOURMachado was picked off first base in the eighth inning after Chris Davis took a pitch outside the strike zone, dropped his bat and headed from the batters box.

This is something weve been working on with policy changes, to educating our players to make sure they understand how they deal with issues with their family, give them resources to be able to deal with this.

We concluded our own investigation, more than a year after the initial incident, based on the facts and evidence available to us at the time and after making exhaustive attempts to obtain information in a timely fashion.
