Barry Bonds sent a 0-2 pitch into the stands in the first inning of tonight's game in Cincinnati to give the Giants a 2-0 lead.

The home run was Bonds' 17th of the season and 751st of his career.

He is now 4 home runs shy of Hank Aaron's career record of 755.

The hit extended Bonds' hitting streak to 9 games which is more impressive than it sounds when you consider that Bonds often gets 1 or 2 at bats per game because of all of his walks.

He's now hitting .308 for the season.
