For the first time, his father, Ken Griffey Sr., watched him play in a major league game at Comiskey Park . The elder Griffey had the night off because the Cincinnati Reds were idle, so he sat in the press box in Chicago on Thursday night. In his first three at-bats, Griffey Jr. was 0-3 with two strikeouts. But in the seventh inning, he snapped a 2-2 tie with a bloop single and the Seattle Mariners went on to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-2. "Yep, I was real nervous," the younger Griffey said. "I could see him (after the strikeouts). I knew exactly what he was saying. I can't repeat it, though. The fourth time was a new at-bat, though. Nothing special." Don't tell his father it wasn't special, though. "It was nice to see him get that hit," Griffey Sr. said. "It was a bloop, but I think he already knows the line drives get caught a lot." Seattle's Scott Bankhead allowed five hits en route to his first complete game since Aug. 16, 1988. "When you pitch like that it makes it look easy, don't it?" Seattle Manager Jim Lefebvre said. "Bankhead had good command of his pitches and he kept the ball down. He's a competitor, He's got a lot of grit." With the score tied 2-2, Seattle's Mario Diaz opened the seventh with a single off Barry Jones and moved to second on Harold Reynolds' grounder. Griffey scored Diaz with a bloop single to left and Alvin Davis followed with his first home run of the season. Davis has hit in 11 straight games. "You hit the ball hard time after time and the game is decided by a little blooper," Lefebvre said. "It's a funny game, isn't it?" ULTRA RARE FULL TICKET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!!!
