Kyle Lohse took a one-hit shutout into the ninth inning before giving up three hits and a run and Ken Griffey Jr. tied Frank Robinson for sixth place on the career home run list as the Reds -- who went into the game with the worst record in the majors leagues -- beat the slumping Diamondbacks 8-1 on Friday night.

Griffey capped Cincinnati's three-run fifth inning with his 586th homer -- 23rd of the season -- a two-run shot off of right-hander Micah Owings that traveled 419 feet into the right-center field seats.

Griffey left the clubhouse before the media entered.
