Sports briefs Bond-less Giants win 6-4 SAN FRANCISCO — Rich Aurilia hit a two-run homer as the San Francisco Giants thrived while Barry Bonds rested, beating San Diego 6-4 Wednesday night to send the Padres to their eighth straight loss. Kirk Rueter (6-6) gave up seven hits and three runs while pitching into the eighth in ning. He also had a sacrifice fly as San Fran cisco beat the Padres for the third straight day and the eighth time in nine meetings this season. With Bonds watching from the bench on a scheduled day off, the Padres were spared his next move up the career homers list. Bonds hit his 30th and 31st home runs of the season in the series’ first two games, giving him 525 in his career. The Giants compensated with another night of balanced offense for their fourth victory in six games. Five players drove in a run, and demoted leadoff hitter Marvin Benard had two doubles. Aurilia, the NL’s batting leader at .371, hit his 10th homer of the season in the third in ning. Aurilia, who leads the NL All-Star balloting at shortstop, is hoping to become the Giants’ first All-Star shortstop since Chris Speier in 1974.

Information: 346-3475 or septexp@darkwing.uoregon.edu Tigers give Ramirez record four freebies By jimmy Golen The Associated Press BOSTON — Detroit Tigers man ager Phil Garner couldn’t know how long the game would last, who would win or how it would end. He knew one thing, though: Manny Ramirez wasn’t going to beat him. Garner intentionally walked Ramirez four times in Tuesday night’s 18-inning game against Boston, which the Red Sox won 4-3 on Shea Hillenbrand’s homer. That tied an AL record, matching the four intentional passes given to Roger Maris by the Los Angeles An gels in 1962. “That’s the ultimate respect,” Red Sox outfielder Dante Bichette said Wednesday before the second game of a three-game series against Detroit. “You’re seeing one of the greatest hitters of our time at the top of his game, and you appreciate it.” With the four intentional walks on Tuesday, Ramirez took over the AL lead with 14. It’s not hard to see why: He also leads the majors with a .388 average entering Wednesday night’s game, he leads the AL with 20 homers and he’s second in the majors with 63 RBIs. Last month, while Ramirez was driving in seven runs in three games against Oakland, Athletics manager Art Howe broke with con vention and intentionally walked Ramirez with the bases empty in the 10th inning. The Red Sox scratched their heads — manager Jimy Williams said he’d never seen that before — then nodded in agree ment that Ramirez was so hot that it was probably the right thing to do. But no one ever tried so hard to stay so far away from Ramirez as Garner, who took the bat out of Ramirez’s hands in four of his last five at-bats in Tuesday’s epic that la'sted 5 hours, 52 minutes. “They didn’t pitch to me, OK, I’ll walk. I don’t care,” Ramirez said. “Forget Maris. We just want to win.” Ramirez flied out to center field in the second inning, then homered in the fourth to give Boston a 2-1 lead. It was the fourth consecutive game he homered — the longest such streak of his career. In the fifth, he flied out to left. Even so, by that time something had convinced Garner he had seen enough. After Carl Everett stole second ahead of Ramirez in the eighth, Gar ner told Chris Holt to walk Ramirez. Matt Anderson came in and struck out Troy O’Leary on a 100 mph pitch, then fanned Jason Varitek as well. First base was open again when Ramirez came up in the 10th, and Garner put him on again. Danny Patterson came in to pitch, and Bichette pinch hit. He looped a po tential game-winning fly down the first-base line — just foul, the um pire said — then struck out looking. When Ramirez came up in the 12th, there were two outs and no body on, so Garner told Todd Jones not to give Ramirez anything to hit. Still, Ramirez reached down and pulled an ankle-high pitch off the Green Monster, about four feet too low to be a homer; it was hit so hard that Ramirez only had time for a single. Garner certainly learned from that mistake. “Jones pitched him as good as he could and he still put it off the Wall,” he said. “We weren’t going to let him do that again.” In the 14th, Dave Borkowski got ahead in the count 0-1 but inten tionally walked Ramirez anyway with two outs and a runner on first — the first time Ramirez has ever been given a pass with first base oc cupied, he said. The move put the winning run in scoring position for Darren Lewis, but he struck out to end the inning. In the 16th, Ramirez was walked intentionally with two outs and no body on, putting the winning run on base in a game that had been scoreless for the past 8 1/2 innings. But Lewis popped out to third base, meaning none of the four intention al walks came back to haunt De troit. That could change after the All Star break, when Nomar Garcia parra is expected back from his wrist injury. He would move into the No. 3 spot in the order, and Everett would probably bat fifth, behind Ramirez. “They can only do it so long be fore it starts hurting them,” said Varitek, who added that he can’t blame teams for pitching around Ramirez. “He’s been that great of a player. It was nice to find a way to beat therewith them still doing that.”
