Bonds hits second homer of season -- No. 710

His former trainer has been subpoenaed.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds hit his second home run of the season and first at home Tuesday night, sending a 1-1 pitch from Mets starter Steve Trachsel into the left-field seats for the 710th of his career.
The 41-year-old Bonds, nursing a tender surgically repaired right knee and a swollen left elbow, grimaced noticeably as he limped around the bases after his shot to start the second inning -- arriving at home plate to chants of "Barry! Barry!"
Returns to wave
He returned to play left field in the top of the third, waving several times to the cheering fans before tipping his cap in two directions.
Bonds hit his first homer of the year Saturday at Colorado. He wasn't expected to be in the lineup for this afternoon's game, the finale of the three-game series with New York.
Bonds had his knee -- which underwent three operations in 2005 and kept him out all but 14 games -- massaged before the game. He also briefly stopped his clubhouse card game to watch his television series, "Bonds on Bonds."
His homer Tuesday came a night after he went 0-for-1 with three walks, two of those intentional free passes. Bonds is five homers from passing Babe Ruth for second on the career list and 46 away from breaking Hank Aaron's mark of 755.
Bonds hit his third career homer off Trachsel.
Bonds said before Monday's game the only thing keeping him going is trying to win a championship before he's through, acknowledging Aaron's record is probably out of reach.
Off the field
Bonds' personal trainer has been subpoenaed to testify before the federal grand jury investigating whether the San Francisco Giants' slugger committed perjury, the San Jose Mercury News reported Tuesday.
In a story posted on its Web site, the newspaper reported that a spokeswoman for Greg Anderson's attorney confirmed that the trainer and BALCO coconspirator had received the subpoena.
The newspaper, citing a unidentified source close to the investigation, also reported that former Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative vice president James Valente was subpoenaed.
