The first pitch Barry Bonds saw this afternoon he promptly knocked far into the stands. The monster solo home run was his 744th of his career, his NL leading (tied with Chipper Jones) 10th of the season, and tied the game 1 to 1 in the bottom of the second inning.

Bonds is walked his next three times up. Bonds season #s are now .347/.529/.806!

The Giants win the game 9 to 4 despite 4 errors. Tomorrow Bonds is scheduled to take the day off while Tim Lincecum makes his major league pitching debut in the 4th and final game of the Giants' home series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
