Griffey has historic night

DETROIT -- Ken Griffey, Jr. had quite an impressive showing last night (4/17) at Tiger Stadium.  The All-Star Center Fielder finished 5-for-5 with 3 home runs.  Griffey's 9th inning bomb ended up being the winning run in a close, 7-6 contest.

"I was locked in tonight," Griffey said.  "I couldn't wait to get up to bat again.  That one I hit off the roof in the 9th felt great."

Griffey has an astonishing 5 home runs in 21 at-bats against lefties this season.  He leads the league in home runs.
