Mariners 8, Baltimore 2

Blah, blah, M's win, but what we really care about is...Griffey homered! A one-handed line drive that barely cleared the right-field wall, in a game that was pretty much over, but we will take it! The four-bagger was one of three extra-base hits for Junior, his most in a game since June '06. Erik Bedard pitched into the seventh, then turned the game over to Sean White, who escaped an icky jam. R. Branyan, in his first game as the #2 hitter, was 2-4 with 2 R and 2 RBI. And, last but not least, Ichiro extended his hitting streak to 26 with an infield hit in the first, breaking his own franchise record. Box score. Next game Wednesday vs. BAL, 7:10 p.m.; Vargas vs. Brad Bergesen.
