Griffey seeks elusive 600th home run vs. Marlins
Jun 7, 2008 - 1:43 PM Cincinnati (30-32) at Florida (32-28) 7:10 pm. EDTMIAMI (Ticker) -- Ken Griffey Jr. takes yet another shot at notching that elusive 600th career home run on Saturday as the Cincinnati Reds continue a three-game series with the Florida Marlins.
With all the focus on Griffey, rookie Jay Bruce stole the show on Friday. The 21-year-old phenom had three hits and drove in three runs as the Reds cruised to an 11-3 victory.
Griffey had a pair of hits, but was held without a home run for a fifth straight game. Griffey will try and become just the sixth player in the 600 home run club against lefthander Scott Olsen (4-2, 3.72 ERA).
Olsen, who is winless in his last five starts, allowed three runs and four hits in six innings, but did not factor into the decision in a 7-5 loss to Atlanta on Monday.
The Marlins, who have lost five of six, will try and get healthy against Reds' starter Bronson Arroyo (4-5, 5.61 ERA). Arroyo was rocked for five runs and 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings of a 5-4 loss to Philadelphia on Monday. Prior to that, Arroyo had allowed just three runs in winning two straight starts.
