CHICAGO: Chicago White Sox slugger Ken Griffey Jr struck his 609th home run against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday to tie Sammy Sosa for fifth place on the all-time list.
The 38-year-old slammed a 2-2 pitch from RA Dickey with two outs in the second inning for his first homer since joining Chicago at the end of last month from the Cincinnati Reds.
His drive over the right field wall at US Cellular Field gave the White Sox a commanding 8-0 lead before they went on to crush Seattle 15-3.
