INTERLEAGUE Giants best A's in Battle of Bay



Barry Bonds hit his 635th home run in the 8-7 win.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO -- Pedro Feliz singled home the winning run in the 10th inning and Barry Bonds homered as the San Francisco Giants rallied from an early six-run deficit to beat the Oakland Athletics 8-7 on Saturday.
Neifi Perez tied it with an RBI single in the eighth and scored on Feliz's hit as the Giants won their second straight in the Bay Bridge Series. With its fifth win in seven games, San Francisco took a 3-2 lead in the series, which concludes today at Pacific Bell Park.
The game was expected to be a pitchers' duel between Kirk Rueter and Barry Zito, but it turned into a slugfest featuring 30 hits -- including Bonds' 635th homer.
The A's loaded the bases in the 10th after center fielder Marquis Grissom lost pinch-hitter Billy McMillon's fly ball in the sun, but Felix Rodriguez (4-0) struck out Eric Byrnes to end the threat.
Perez led off the 10th with a single against Keith Foulke (4-1). Grissom also singled, and Foulke hit Bonds with a pitch to load the bases.

White Sox 7, Cubs 6
CHICAGO -- The bottom of the ninth was magic again for the White Sox.
D'Angelo Jimenez hit an RBI single to score Magglio Ordonez as the White Sox beat the Cubs and sent their cross-town rivals to a season-worst fourth straight loss.
Aaron Rowand hit a dramatic two-run homer in the eighth to tie the game at 6-all, connecting off Antonio Alfonseca, who'd given up Valentine's winner Friday.
Ordonez was walked by Juan Cruz (1-3) to lead off the ninth and when Carlos Lee flied to right, he raced into second ahead of Sammy Sosa's throw.
Mike Remlinger replaced Cruz and after striking out Valentine issued an intentional walk to Tony Graffanino. Jimenez, who didn't start the game and was in a 7-for-41 slump, singled on an 0-1 pitch and Ordonez beat the throw home, setting off another wild celebration at U.S. Cellular Field.
