 CINCINNATI (AP) - A day after hitting his 751st home run, Barry Bonds was held out of San Francisco's starting lineup Wednesday to rest his sore legs.
The Giants played on a toasty Midwest afternoon in the middle contest of their three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds. That came on the heels of a night game Tuesday, when Bonds moved within four homers of tying Hank Aaron's record with a two-run shot in the first inning off Aaron Harang. Thursday's series finale is a night game, giving Bonds adequate time to recover.
San Francisco skipper Bruce Bochy had said Bonds might play all three games in Great American Ball Park if the slugger felt fine, but the two chatted Wednesday morning and Bonds reported that his legs were bothering him.
