 ST. LOUIS (AP) - Barry Bonds' chase of Hank Aaron is now on a four-day hiatus. The All-Star break might be coming at a better time for San Francisco's other star Barry — struggling left-hander Barry Zito.
Bonds went 0-for-3 in his final game of the first half and remained at 751 home runs, Chris Duncan drove in three runs for St. Louis and the Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep with a 7-0 victory Sunday over the San Francisco Giants.
Duncan's two-run double in the fifth knocked out Zito (6-9), who ended his disappointing first half with a six-start winless stretch and four straight dropped decisions. That's hardly what the Giants or the $126 million man himself expected after he received the richest deal ever for a pitcher.
