Bonds homers as Giants hold off Rockies

Baseball Betting Lines

09/06/2007 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barry Bonds hit the 762nd home run of his career, lifting the San Francisco Giants over the Colorado Rockies, 5-3, in the conclusion of a three-game series at Coors Field.

Pedro Feliz had three hits -- including a homer and triple -- and Bengie Molina also added a solo shot for the Giants, who put the brakes on a four- game skid.

Kevin Correia (4-6) allowed just one run and four hits, did not walk a batter and fanned four over six innings. The win was his third straight, which also includes victories over Milwaukee and Washington.

Troy Tulowitzki had two hits and two RBI and Matt Holliday also knocked in a run for Colorado, which had a three-game win streak halted and sits 4 1/2 games back in the NL wild card race.

Ubaldo Jimenez (3-3) took the loss, yielding three runs and seven hits, with two walks and two punchouts in five innings.

The Giants used a two-run first to grab the lead, as Nate Schierholtz hit a one-out double before Bonds' 28th homer of the season, a two-out shot to left.

San Francisco left the bases loaded in the third when Ryan Klesko grounded into an inning-ending double play, but Feliz' solo shot in the fourth made it 3-0.

Molina's lead-off homer in the sixth gave the Giants a four-run cushion, but Colorado cut it to 4-1 in the home half when Willy Taveras doubled and later scored on Holliday's single to left.

The Giants got an insurance run in the eighth. Bonds was hit by a pitch, but taken out of the game for pinch-runner Rajai Davis. Klesko and Molina were both retired on fly balls before Davis stole second, and a triple by Feliz made it 5-1.

The Rockies made things interesting in the ninth, as Todd Helton and Garrett Atkins opened the frame with consecutive singles off Steve Kline. Brad Hawpe's ground out moved the runners before the Giants called on Brad Hennessey, who allowed a two-run single to Tulowitzki. Yorvit Torrealba flied out to left, however, and Cory Sullivan lined out to help Hennessey notch his 18th save.

Game Notes

Jiminez became the 449th different pitcher to allow a home run to Bonds, who has 54 career long balls against Colorado...The Rockies won 11 of 18 meetings with San Francisco this year and swept a three-game road series versus the Giants in late May...Feliz hit his 18th home run of the season, while Molina connected on his 16th.
