AROUND THE HORN Monday's other games



NATIONAL LEAGUE
Giants 4, Padres 3
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds hit his 666th homer through a swirling mist and over the center-field wall, and San Francisco held on to snap a season-worst four-game losing streak. Bonds has homered in six consecutive games with an at-bat. He got his major league-leading eighth homer this season one batter after Marquis Grissom hit a two-run shot to left off David Wells (0-2). Jerome Williams (2-1) carried a no-hit bid into the fifth before Khalil Greene's one-out double to left-center broke it up. Williams still got out of the inning unscathed and pitched 62/3 innings, allowing one run and four hits, striking out four and walking two.
Cubs 8, Reds 1
CHICAGO -- Derrek Lee hit a grand slam to support Matt Clement. With Chicago leading 3-1 in the seventh inning, Lee connected off reliever Ryan Wagner, sending a drive into the right-field bleachers. It was Lee's fourth career grand slam and first with the Cubs. Clement (2-1) settled down after a rocky first inning to allow one run on four hits in 61/3 innings. Aramis Ramirez hit his fifth homer of the season. Corey Patterson added a two-run single for the Cubs and Alex Gonzalez had three hits and scored twice.
Mets 4, Expos 1
NEW YORK -- Tyler Yates shut down the punchless Expos on five hits over 52/3 inning for his first career win. Karim Garcia and Ty Wigginton homered off Tomo Ohka (0-3), and the Mets sent Montreal (2-11) to its eighth straight defeat, the Expos' worst losing streak since 2000.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Red Sox 5, Yankees 4
BOSTON -- Gabe Kapler drove in the winning run with a single in the eighth inning. Boston took three of four from the Yankees. Alex Rodriguez finally showed a sign of pulling out of his slump, when he singled off Keith Foulke with two outs in the ninth. Prior to his single Rodriguez was 0-for-16 in the series with six strikeouts. Mike Timlin (1-1) got the win and Foulke got the last three outs for his third save in three opportunities. Tom Gordon (0-1) took the loss.
Mariners 2, Athletics 1, 14 innings
SEATTLE -- Justin Duchscherer balked home Quinton McCracken with one out in the 14th inning. Duchscherer (0-1), the fifth A's pitcher, balked on an 0-2 pitch while facing Scott Spiezio with runners on first and third. First base umpire Mike DiMuro called the balk to end the 4 hour, 47 minute game. Kevin Jarvis (1-0), Seattle's sixth pitcher, went one inning for the win. Oakland left 17 men on base and the Mariners 16. Each team left the bases loaded twice in extra innings and Seattle had three on base to end the ninth.
