<h3>Likely without Bonds, Giants look to build on series opener</h3>



San Francisco (40-54) at Milwaukee (54-42) 3:55 pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- With Barry Bonds likely to sit out, the SanFrancisco Giants look to build on their series-opening victoryand wrap up a series win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.

Bonds, who is two home runs shy of tying Hank Aaron's mark of755 homers, will likely get the day off to rest as manager BruceBochy reiterated this week he will try to avoid playing the 42year old in afternoon games that follow night games.

While Bonds rests, rookie Tim Lincecum (4-2, 4.37 ERA) will drawthe start against the National League Central division leaders.

Lincecum will hope to rid himself of the bad taste left in hismouth in his only career outing against the Brewers at MillerPark, as he surrendered six runs, five hits and four walks overfour innings of a 6-2 loss on June 19.


Since that start, however, the 23-year-old righthander is 2-0with a 1.37 ERA in his last four starts. He allowed one run andtwo hits with five walks and eight strikeouts on Monday over 61/3 innings, but did not receive a decision as the Chicago Cubsscored two runs in the eighth to record a 3-2 win over theGiants.


Milwaukee will counter with Dave Bush (8-7, 4.84), who has beenbrilliant over the last month, even recording a win in relief inlate June. Following a no-decision on June 10 that left therighthander with a 3-6 record and 5.70 ERA, he has gone 5-1 witha 2.88 ERA.


Included in that recent stretch was Monday's start in which Bushpermitted three runs over six innings in a 4-3 victory over theArizona Diamondbacks. He is 1-1 with a 3.71 ERA in three games- including two starts - against the Giants, all of which camelast season.
