<h3>Bonds to take more swings at record vs. Marlins</h3>

<div class="pre">Florida (48-55) at San Francisco (43-57) 10:15 pm EDT</div>

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- For those people hoping that BarryBonds would tie and possibly break Hank Aaron's home run recordof 755 at home before the end of the month, they are running outof time.


The San Francisco Giants begin a three-game weekend seriesagainst the Florida Marlins on Friday.


Bonds went 1-for-4 with a double on Thursday in the seriesfinale against the Braves, meaning he remained at 753 homers -two short of tying the record. Giants manager Bruce Bochy hasindicated that he intends on playing Bonds in two of the threegames this series.


Some teammates are speculating that Bonds is putting too muchpressure on himself to reach the milestone at home.

"He looks pretty good, but it looks like sometimes he'sexpanding the zone because he's anxious to do it at home,"teammate Ryan Klesko said. "Guys are pitching him tough. Hewants to do it for the fans here."


If he is to make the hometown fans happy, he will likely need togo deep against Marlins starter Rick Vanden Hurk (3-2, 6.53ERA), who is making his first career start against San Franciscoand has never faced Bonds. The 22-year-old rookie may bemaking one of his final starts for some time as he keeping hisrotation spot warm for Josh Johnson, who is expected to returnto the team next week.


In Saturday's 9-3 win over Cincinnati, the righthander did notreceive a decision despite allowing two runs and seven hits oversix frames, in part because he walked two batters and hit twoothers. Vanden Hurk has never faced San Francisco.

The Giants will counter with Barry Zito (7-10, 5.00), who willtry to rebound from yet another poor outing. San Francisco'sprize offseason acquisition has seen his ERA go up each monthwith the team, from 3.73 in April to his 6.75 in July.

In his latest start on Sunday - 7-5 loss to Milwaukee - he wasroughed up for seven runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings. Zitowill be making his first career start against Florida.
