Apr. 24, 2009 (The Seattle Times delivered by Newstex ) --
A look at some of the Los Angeles Angels, taking early BP. Russell Branyan is indeed back in the lineup for the Mariners tonight, playing first base and batting fifth. He's been sidelined the past week with back stiffness. Ken Griffey Jr. is the DH tonight and will bat third. He had some good swings off pitcher Shane Loux the last time these clubs met and the hope is, obviously, that he can repeat that tonight despite recent struggles at the plate. Mariners
