Griffy at 600

Congratulations to Ken Griffey, Jr. who hit the 600th home run of his career in the first inning tonight. He's the third player this decade to break the barrier. After his first decade in the majors, Ken seems a shoe in to challenge Aaron, but he struggled to get to his milestone. It shows just how quickly injuries can sap a player of his power.

Update: Volquez has a no-hitter through four. This may be one of those days where one event over shadows another, like Ryan throwing a no-hitter when Henderson set the stolen base record.

Update: Luis Gonzalez leads off the fifth with a single. The Reds lead the game 6-0.

Alex Rodriguez homered in the Yankees 3-2 loss to the Royals this afternoon, his 528th home run. When A-Rod debuted on 7/8/1994, Griffey led him by 165 home runs. Alex has that down to 72 now.
