Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants beat the Dodgers again last night for their 7th straight victory and they are now 9-1 since starting the season 2-7. Like so many games recently, the difference was a home run by Barry Bonds. This time it was a 3 run homer in the first inning to give the Giants a 4-0 lead.

This was the Giants 7th straight victory. While their offense is still struggling (they are tied for the second fewest runs in the majors) Barry & the pitching is keeping their win streak and their season alive. They are now only 1 game out of first place (behind the Dodgers) in the NL West. The Giants have allowed the fewest runs of any team in the major leagues.

During these 7 straight victories Bonds has hit 4 home runs and each time his home run has provided the margin of victory. Is there even an argument about who has been the National League's most valuable player so far this year?

Randy Wolf who gave up Bonds' home run said this about it "I think he got it off the end of the bat. When he hit it, I really didn't think it was going to be a home run. I've given up quite a few to know what they sound like, but he's a guy with kind of superhuman power and he doesn't always need to hit it perfectly."

Barry Bonds career milestones:

Bonds passed Willie McCovey to become the Giants all time leader in RBI with 1,389.

Tied Pete Rose for 5th all time in runs scored with 2,165.

Oh yeah and Bonds Bombs Counter: 741
