Carp ready for second go-around

The first stint first baseman Mike Carp had with the Mariners this season was more of a get-acquainted period than anything else.

He had eight at-bats during the 16 days he spent with the team in June and July, playing in five games and getting three hits and one RBI in very limited duty.

Carp returned to Triple-A Tacoma on July 4, took a couple of days to regroup, and then got his swing back, helping the Rainiers get back into the Pacific Coast League pennant race. The race goes on without Carp as he rejoined the Mariners on Tuesday when big league rosters could be expanded.

The 39-year-old Griffey had surgery on the knee last October.
