Been a bit Bonds-light at SBR recently but now Barry is back.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds made it within single digits of tying Hank Aaron's record and ended his home run drought with a homer in the sixth inning of the Giants' game against the Mets on Sunday.
Bonds' home run No. 746 ended a 19-game drought. His last home run came May 8 against the Mets at AT&T Park.
With Rich Aurilia on first, Bonds walloped a homer over center field to bring the Giants within one run of the Rockies. Colorado starting pitcher Taylor Buchholz was on the mound and got his first taste of a Bonds home run on a 2-1 count. Buchholz became the 439th pitcher to fall victim to a Bonds homer.
It was Bonds' 12th home run of the season, putting him 10 away from breaking Aaron's mark of 755.
