Griffey delivers game-winner

SEATTLE (AP) - Ken Griffey Jr. awakened the slumping Mariners with a game-winning, pinch-hit single to cap Seattle's three-run rally off AL saves leader Kevin Gregg in the ninth with a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.

Seattle snapped a five-game skid and Griffey's teammates mobbed him between first and second base.

Ichiro Suzuki and Mike Sweeney gave him big, extended hugs in the dugout.

It was the 10th game-ending hit of the 40-year-old Griffey's career. And it was the first game-ending hit of Seattle's disappointing season.
