Milestone Watch

3,000 Hits
SEATTLE — Mariners outfielder Ken Griffey, Jr. is just 39 hits away from joining the 3,000 hit club. The 39-year-old is off to a slow start this season, hitting just .153 in 20 games. He should join the 3,000 hit club at some point in July, baseball projection analysts say.

600 Home Runs
SEATTLE — Though he hasn't hit one in 59 at bats so far this season, Mariners legend Ken Griffey, Jr. is just three round-trippers away from 600 in his career. He hit 12 home runs in 316 at bats last season, an average of a home run every 26.3 at bats.

400 Home Runs
ATLANTA — Though he's 37, Braves star Chipper Jones will soon reach 400 home runs and could get to 500 in his career if he continues to produce. Jones needs five home runs to reach the 400 homer plateau and is currently on pace to hit 20 more homers this season, for a total of 23 on the year. He hit 32 home runs last season and has hit 26 or more homers in each of the last five years.

1,000 Games
NEW YORK — Mets reliever Hector Carrasco and Colorado Rockies reliever Bob Wickman each need 24 appearances this season to reach 1,000 games in their careers. Angels lefty Mike Stanton is 36 appearances away from 1,100 in his career, but he will need to improve his performance if he expects to reach that number. Stanton has posted an 8.59 ERA, 1.91 WHIP, and .296 opponents average against in six appearances so far this season. He went 3-3 with a 3.39 ERA in 58 1/3 innings out of the Angels bullpen last season.
