Bonds, Pujols quiet

? So much for the power show from Barry Bonds and Albert Pujols.

Bonds went 1-for-3 with an RBI, and Jamey Wright won his third straight start, holding Pujols without a homer in the San Francisco Giants’ 9-2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.

Omar Vizquel hit a two-run shot for the Giants. Bonds, as thrilled to be back home as his fans were to see him, remained at 714 home runs, one shy of moving past Babe Ruth and into sole possession of second place on the career list.

The kayaks and other forms of creative water craft were out in force again beyond the right-field fence in McCovey Cove, hoping for a milestone souvenir ball from Bonds. He has splashed 31 of his homers into the water.

Bonds singled to right in the first, had an RBI groundout in the third, flied out to shallow center in the fifth and walked on four pitches leading off the eighth to chants of “Barry! Barry!” Fans booed when Tyler Johnson’s pitches didn’t come close to the plate – and somebody tossed a rubber chicken into right field in protest.

Bonds was then lifted for pinch-runner Jason Ellison following his 44th walk of the year.
