Finally, Ken Griffey's home run drought is over.

Quote:

In the first inning of the Reds' series opener with the Padres on Thursday, Griffey hit career homer No. 598 into the right-field seats at PETCO Park. The two-run shot on a 3-1 pitch against lefty Randy Wolf was his fifth of the season and gave Cincinnati a 2-0 lead.

In his quest to reach the 600-homer plateau, advancing from 597 to 598 took almost one full month for Griffey. Sixth on the all-time list, he came into the night without a long ball since April 23 -- a 90 at-bat stretch that was his longest without going deep since 1990 (101 at-bats).

Ken Griffey Jr. is on the doorstep of history. In the first inning of Saturday afternoon's game at Great American Ball Park, Griffey connected on a 3-1 pitch from Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens and sent it sailing 380 feet into the right-field Sun Deck. The 599th home run of Griffey's career, which followed Jay Bruce's single, put the Reds ahead, 2-0.
