Schoop belts walk-off homer to lift O's over Nats

BALTIMORE -- Jonathan Schoop delivered a walk-off home run to left field in the ninth inning, lifting the Orioles to a 3-2 series-opening win over the Nationals in front of 46,289, Camden Yards' largest home crowd of the season.

With the Orioles trailing, 2-1, and held scoreless since the fourth, Matt Wieters tied the game in the eighth by roping the first pitch from Matt Thornton into the right-center gap for a double that scored Chris Parmelee. An inning later, Schoop put the finishing touches on the comeback victory with his two-out homer and the first walk-off blast of his career.
