Ken Griffey Jr. tied Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt on the career home run chart to lead the Reds past the Mets 4-2 Monday night for their eighth straight victory on the road. Griffey's 548th homer put the 12-time All-Star in 11th place alongside Schmidt. "He's one of those guys when he comes in the locker room, you know who he is. You don't want to play golf with him unless you get some strokes," Griffey said. "He was an awesome player. For my name to be mentioned with him is an honor in itself." The 36-year-old Griffey and his father, Ken Sr., have now combined for 700 homers. Junior got the ball back as a souvenir and said he would give it to his dad. "Which one am I prouder? Probably 700 with my dad," Griffey said. "Now I can say, `Happy Father's Day -- here you go."'
