"Junior" HR #317 23rd of 56 for the 1998 SEASON 317th CAREER HOME RUN 2-RUNS, 1-HIT, 1-RBI, 1-BB, HR HALL OF FAME PAUL KONERKO "Paulie" HR #1 1st CAREER HOME RUN KINGDOME DEBUT 1st GAME PLAYED in SEATTLE 1-RUN, 2-HITS, 4-RBI, HR EDGAR MARTINEZ 1-HIT, 1-BB, 2B (HOF) ALEX RODRIGUEZ 1-HIT GARY SHEFFIELD 2-RUNS, 1-HITS, 1-RBI, 1-BB, SF Rookie's RBIs, Cora's errors, help Dodgers prevail, 10-6 SEATTLE -- Los Angeles rookie Paul Konerko had a game he will always remember. Seattle second baseman Joey Cora will have trouble forgetting his day. Konerko hit his first major league homer to snap a sixth-inning tie, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 10-6 victory over the Mariners on Saturday. Cora committed three errors of Seattle's four errors, leading to three of the Dodgers four unearned runs. "It was a thrill," Konerko said of his homer. "I've been thinking about it for a long time. I think everybody expected me to hit one a long while ago." "I screwed up big time," Cora said. "That's my loss there. It was an all-around bad day. I played badly. I feel bad because my team had a chance to win and I screwed up." Seattle manager Lou Piniella watched his team lose for the fifth time in six games despite Ken Griffey Jr.'s A.L.-leading 23rd homer. "We came out and played a beer-league game," Piniella said. "The only thing missing was a keg around second base." Konerko, who had four RBIs, gave the Dodgers their first win in four games in Seattle since interleague play began last season when he led off the sixth with a 431-foot shot over the center-field fence off Bob Wells (0-1) to break a 6-6 tie. "He's got some power," Dodgers manager Bill Russell said of Konerko, who had 37 homers at Triple-A Albuquerque last season but didn't hit one until his 32nd game with the Dodgers. "He can generate some power up there." Dave Mlicki, acquired from the New York Mets in a trade for Hideo Nomo on Thursday, allowed six runs and seven hits in three innings. "My pitches were up a little bit. I never really felt I got into a good rhythm. It's just one of those days," Mlicki said. Jim Bruske (3-0) came in with the bases loaded and none out in the fifth and pitched three scoreless innings. After Dennis Reyes loaded the bases on walks, Bruske got Glenallen Hill to pop out for the first out in the fifth. Dan Wilson flied out to right and David Segui was doubled up in a rundown when he attempted to score from third and then changed his mind. Dodgers center fielder Raul Mondesi threw out Edgar Martinez at the plate in the seventh when he attempted to score the tying run from second on Roby Ducey's single. "Two center fielders can make that play and they were both on this field, ours (Griffey) and theirs, "Piniella said of Mondesi. The Dodgers added three unearned runs in the ninth inning, thanks to the Mariners' third and fourth errors of the game. Pitcher Bobby Ayala's throwing error allowed Eric Young to score and Cora's throwing error on a possible inning-ending double play allowed two more runs to score. The Mariners have committed 54 errors in 61 games, tied with the White Sox for the most in the A.L. "I'm going to do things to shore up my defense over here that might not be too popular," Piniella said. "I'm tired of this team being at the bottom or near the bottom defensively in the league." Griffey blasting toward top SEATTLE -- Ken Griffey Jr. has reached the stage of his career where all those home runs have put him in elite category - and every long fly ball he hits out now pushes him further into major league history. He is 28 years old, and in the third inning Saturday, Griffey hit his American League - leading 23rd home run of the season, a long bolt into the Kingdome's second deck in right field against Dodgers pitcher Dave Mlicki. It was Griffey's 317th career home run. It moved him out of a tie with Ron Cey for 68th place on baseball's all-time home run list - and into a tie with George Brett for 67th place. And when Griffey hits his next homer, he'll match Roy Sievers (318) for 66th place. How far can Griffey climb this season? He's got 23 home runs now, 61 games into the season. With 101 games left to play, here's a look at what lies ahead: If he hits three more home runs this season, he'll catch Lance Parish at 65th. Eight more home runs catches Gary Carter (324) and nine more would match one time Seattle designated hitter Willie Horton for (63rd place). Should Griffey hit 13 more this season, he'd match Hall of Famer Hank Greenberg. Fourteen more would match him with Bobby Bonds, father of close friend Barry. Active players still ahead of Griffey include Chili Davis, Gary Gaetti, Fred McGriff, Harold Baines, Jose Canseco, Cal Ripken Jr., Barry Bonds, Joe Carter and some big galoot in St. Louis, Mark McGwire. If Griffey finishes with 40 home runs this season, he'd have 344 in his career - and at this point, only 50 men in baseball history have more. EXTREMELY RARE TICKET STUB IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!!!
