Bonds Injured as Giants Lose to Brewers 4-3
Barry Bonds left after the third inning with a mild right hamstring strain as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-3, snapping a seven game skid. Bonds had just tied Harmon Killebrew for sixth on the career list with his 574th homer, then left after injuring himself while running the bases. Giants trainer Stan Conte said the injury could linger for weeks but Bonds remains optimistic. The Brewers tied the game in the eighth with a Matt Stairs double and Alex Sanchez RBI single, then used a DAngelo Jimenez RBI single in the seventh to take the lead.
