San Francisco's Barry Bonds is honored between games of the Pirates-Giants doubleheader. Bonds, who played in Pittsburgh from 1986-92, singled in Game One and sat out the nightcap Monday in Pittsburgh. The Pirates won the first game, 3-1, before dropping the second, 10-3.

Pittsburgh 3-3, Giants 1-10

Pittsburgh – Barry Bonds singled in three at-bats in what might be his farewell to the city where his major-league career began, and Paul Maholm became the second Pirates left-hander to dominate the Giants in two days.

Bonds sat out the second game as the Giants won behind Ryan Klesko’s grand slam, their first victory against Pittsburgh in five games over four days.

Noah Lowry (13-7) gave up two runs and six hits over seven innings as the Giants avoided a rare occurrence: being swept in multiple-game series on consecutive days, and in two cities. The Pirates finished off a three-game sweep in San Francisco by winning 5-0 Sunday.

Bonds, usually booed in Pittsburgh because of his playoff failures with the Pirates, received a brief standing ovation as he took the field in the bottom of the first. It was easily the warmest ovation that baseball’s new home run king has received recently in the city where he played from 1986-92.

Astros 4, Dodgers 1

Los Angeles – Jason Lane hit a two-run homer, Roy Oswalt won his fifth consecutive decision, and Houston sent slumping Los Angeles to its ninth loss in 11 games.

Oswalt (13-6) gave up a run and six hits in eight innings with two walks and three strikeouts. The right-hander hasn’t allowed more than one run in any start during his winning streak.

Chad Billingsley (7-4) lost his fourth consecutive outing.
