Feliz slam lifts Giants

San Francisco puts heat on Dodgers

? Pedro Feliz and the San Francisco Giants showed they can win even the biggest games without Barry Bonds’ bat.

Feliz hit a tiebreaking grand slam with two outs in the eighth inning for his fourth hit of the day, and the Giants helped their playoff hopes with a 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

Feliz saw all the fans on their feet and heard them begging for a clutch hit. He passed on a first-pitch slider. The next offering from Dodgers reliever Yhency Brazoban (3-1) was a 97 mph fastball, and Feliz — a fastball hitter — pounced on it.

He sent the ball over the left-field wall for his second career grand slam and 21st homer of the year.

“It was a big day for me. I feel excited about the grand slam to win the game,” Feliz said.

Bonds, who hit his 702nd career homer Friday night, matched his career high with five walks, including three intentional.

Mets 4, Cubs 3, 11 inn.

New York — Victor Diaz hit a tying, three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, and Craig Brazell’s first major-league home run in the 11th gave New York a stunning victory over Chicago. Brazell, who entered in the 11th as part of a double switch, led off the bottom half and lined a 1-2 pitch from Kent Mercker (3-1) over the right-field wall, ending Chicago’s five-game winning streak.
