<h3>Bonds, Giants go for series win against Nationals</h3>

<div class="pre">Washington (52-62) at San Francisco (49-63) 3:35 pm EDT</div>

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Barry Bonds passed Hank Aaron for thecareer home run mark on Tuesday. A day later, he put somedistance between himself and the Hall of Fame slugger.

Bonds will look to continue his power surge when the SanFrancisco Giants close out a four-game series with theWashington Nationals on Thursday.


Bonds, who hit career home run No. 757 in the first inning ofWednesday's 5-0 win, will likely be reduced to a pinch-hittingrole on Thursday due to the fact that San Francisco will beplaying a day game after a night game.


The Nationals will likely be without their strongest hitter aswell, as All-Star Dimitri Young was forced to leave Wednesday'sgame in the second inning after straining his left hamstringrunning out a ground ball.


The Giants will send Patrick Misch (0-1, 4.38 ERA) to the moundfor his second career start. The 25-year-old lefthander did notfigure in his first start despite allowing two runs and threehits in five innings of a 3-2 loss at the San Diego Padres onSaturday.


Washington will counter with its own rookie starter, JohnHanrahan (1-0, 3.27). The 25-year-old righthander earned hisfirst major league win on Saturday against the St. LouisCardinals, surrendering one run and six hits in five innings.
