Albert Pujols ties Ken Griffey Jr. with career home run No. 630

Albert Pujols caught former Moeller High School standout and Reds Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. with his 630th career home run on Thursday night, and Pujols' next homer will leave Junior in seventh place on the all-time list.

Pujols hit a pair of home runs - Nos. 629 and 630 - in the Los Angeles Angels' 11-2 win against the Seattle Mariners.

With three hits in the game, Pujols also moved past Rod Carew and into a tie with Rickey Henderson for 25th in career hits with 3,055, and he now trails Craig Biggio by just five hits for No.
