Barry is 25 away from Aaron with about two dozen games to play this year (22 homers on the season.) His 2-run shot in the 8th tied the game.

He could really do this. If he gets five more this year, I really think he could hit 756 next season.

And it helped us win the game!

San Francisco Giants: 5
Cincinnati Reds: 4


For the first time in his season of setbacks and scandals, Barry Bonds is feeling really good. And, the feeling is rubbing off on everyone around him.

Bonds hit a tying, two-run homer in the eighth inning — No. 730 overall — and Shea Hillenbrand had a solo shot in the 10th that sent the surging San Francisco Giants to a 5-4 victory over the slumping Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

For most of the season, Bonds has been a focal point for his chase of baseball's home run record and a grand jury's investigation of his conduct. With his legs feeling strong again, he's become the focal point of San Francisco's comeback.

"I'm feeling a lot better," said Bonds, who has an eight-game hitting streak. "I feel good."

The Giants have won three in a row and 15 of 21, pulling into contention for the NL wild card. Their comeback on Monday moved them to .500 (69-69) for the first time since July 27.


GO GIANTS!!!
