Bonds broke his previous best of 46 set in 1993, his first season with the Giants. Bonds downplayed the significance of his record breaker. Rios, knew that his game-winner was special. This is the biggest moment in my career. Robb Nen got his 36th save, converting his 23rd straight chance.
Hitters come back shaking their heads.
It's not just us, he does it to everyone. Bonds led off with his homer, Jeff Kent and J.T. Snow hit consecutive doubles to tie it. Rios then singled, but was caught trying to take second. Miller preserved the tie when he got Bobby Estalella to pop up and Hernandez to strike out. Miller didn't allow a runner to reach second base until the Giants rallied in the seventh.
