LOS ANGELES -- Giants left fielder Barry Bonds delivered the 741st home run of his career Wednesday night, a three-run clout off Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Randy Wolf.
Bonds needs 14 home runs to tie Hank Aaron on the Major Leagues' all-time home run chart. Bonds has accelerated his pace recently, hitting three homers in his past four games and six in his past nine.
Bonds drove Wolf's 1-1 pitch over the right-center field barrier, capping the Giants' four-run outburst. It was Bonds' second career homer off Wolf in 18 at-bats. It also was his 64th homer against Los Angeles, breaking a tie with Philadelphia and Montreal/Washington for his second most against any opponent.
Bonds also tied Pete Rose for fifth all-time with 2,165 runs scored and surpassed Willie McCovey atop the Giants' San Francisco-era list with 1,389 RBIs.
Bonds entered Wednesday leading the National League with a .771 slugging percentage and ranking second with a .468 on-base percentage.
