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.

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.”
