SEATTLE — Ken Griffey Jr. was a winner in his return to Seattle.

Franklin Gutierrez hit a leadoff double in the 10th inning and scoring the winning run on a throwing error by pitcher Scot Shields, giving the Mariners a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday.

Griffey went 1-for-3 with a walk in his first home game for the Mariners since Sept. 26, 1999. The 39-year-old slugger has the same corner locker inside "The House that Junior Built" that he had for half a season before Seattle granted his request and traded him to his hometown Cincinnati Reds nine years ago.
