NATIONAL LEAGUE Bonds goes homerless as Giants lose to Phillies

He remained two behind Babe Ruth, but there were seven homers in the game.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Seven homers sailed out of Philadelphia's hitter-friendly park Friday night. Barry Bonds never came close.
Bonds remained two homers behind Babe Ruth, but Ryan Howard and Chase Utley each homered twice to lead the Phillies past the San Francisco Giants 8-3 Friday night for their sixth straight victory.
"Looking at the ball jumping out of the ball park, you always think every time he steps to the plate that he's going to hit a home run," Giants shortstop Omar Vizquel said. "But it didn't happen."
Aaron Rowand also connected for the Phillies, who got a second consecutive solid start from Gavin Floyd (3-2) and moved above .500 for the first time this season at 15-14.
Giants lose Alou
Vizquel and Randy Winn went deep for the Giants, who lost right fielder Moises Alou to a sprained right ankle. Alou's injury looked worse -- he was carted off the field after stumbling in the right-field corner while chasing a foul fly in the third.
The 39-year-old Alou, plagued by leg injuries throughout his career, leads the team with seven homers and 25 RBIs. He provides protection by batting behind Bonds, who could see even more free passes now.
"I feel pretty bad because I think Mo has been the engine that has been moving things around when they pitch around Barry," Vizquel said. "He has been the guy that has been bringing guys home."
Alou appeared to twist his ankle before tumbling to the ground in the right-field corner. Bonds and other teammates gathered around Alou, who stayed down for several minutes before he was taken off the field on a cart. His father, Felipe, the Giants' manager, also came out to check on him.
Round of applause
Philadelphia fans, who booed Bonds all night, gave Moises Alou a round of applause. He was taken for X-rays, which were negative, but Giants trainer Stan Conte said he expects the right fielder to miss at least 15 days -- maybe more.
Felipe Alou was angry that a few fans booed Bonds even when he came across the field to see how Moises Alou was doing.
"Barry went over there as a teammate and two or three fans booed him. I believe that was really cheap, very cheap," the manager said.
Bonds, lifted before the bottom of the eighth inning, left the ball park before reporters were allowed in the clubhouse.
After a day off Thursday afternoon in Milwaukee, Bonds was back in the cleanup spot Friday. He heard it from Philadelphia's notoriously harsh fans before every at-bat, though the reception probably wasn't as vicious as many expected. One sign in the stands read "CHEATER" and fans in left field chanted "Just retire! Just retire!"
"I thought it was fine. Nothing wrong with it. The fans create a lot of energy. It helps much more than you might think, and I think it helped our team tonight," Manuel said.
