Bonds drew his 17th intentional walk of the season in the first, grounded out to the pitcher to end the third in a six-pitch at-bat, walked again in the sixth and popped out to third in the eighth before Jason Ellison replaced him in left field to start the ninth.

Unfortunately, not only hasn't he home red in a week, he is hitting .053 (1 for 19). It has been eight walks since he hit homer No. 713 in Philadelphia. It's his worst bend since May 2004; even his batting average has to .217. Three games against the Chicago Cubs after sitting out the opener of that series.

Giants’ manager Felipe Alou tried jump-starting Bonds during the weekend, moving Bonds to third in the batting order for the first time since May 23, 2003. Bonds will remain in the No.3 spot in the foreseeable future.
