Bonds remains at 754; Feliz helps Giants end Penny's run

<h3>SAN FRANCISCO 3, LA DODGERS 1</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Just because Barry Bonds remains onehomer short of tying the all-time record doesn't mean the SanFrancisco Giants are stuck in neutral.


Pedro Feliz broke open a tie game with a two-run single in thesixth, leading the Giants to a 3-1 victory over the Los AngelesDodgers on Tuesday.


Bonds, who is 1-for-9 with seven walks since hitting homer No.754, finished 0-for-2 with two walks and scored a run for SanFrancisco, which won for the fifth time in its last sixcontests.


The seven-time MVP was lifted for pinch runner Fred Lewis in theseventh inning when he reached base on a fielding error byDodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal.


Feliz, a career .252 hitter, has been on a tear over his last 18games, batting .333 (22-for-66) with 17 RBI. His clutch hitbroke open a 1-1 game and came off Dodgers starter Brad Penny(13-2), who saw an end to his 12-game unbeaten streak andsuffered his first loss against a National League team thisseason.


It was an uncharacteristic outing for the two-time All-Star, onein which he appeared to lose his command and composure.Following the final pitch of a five-pitch walk to Bonds to leadoff the seventh, Penny openly questioned and expressed hisdispleasure with the lack of a strike call by home plate umpireEd Hickox.


The walk seemed to agitate Penny, who walked the next hitter,Ryan Klesko, on four pitches - matching his season high withfive free passes. After a single from Bengie Molina loaded thebases, Feliz scored Bonds and Klesko with a two-run single tocenter for a 3-1 advantage.


That would all the offensive support that Giants starter NoahLowry (12-7) would need. The lefthander permitted just one rundespite allowing five hits and five walks over 5 2/3 innings,becoming the fifth NL pitcher to reach 12 wins.


Randy Winn had four hits for the Giants, who won for just theseventh time in 46 games in which they scored fewer than fourruns.


Relievers Kevin Correia and Steve Kline pitched 2 1/3 scorelessinnings before handing the game over in the ninth to closer BradHennessey, who pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save in 11chances.


Penny yielded three runs and six hits over six frames for theDodgers, who dropped to 17-5 in contests started by their ace.

The Giants extended the odd streak that exists between the teamsover the last two seasons - the road team has won each of the15 meetings.

 

Bonds remains at 754; Feliz helps Giants end Penny's run

<h3>SAN FRANCISCO 3, LA DODGERS 1</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Just because Barry Bonds remains onehomer short of tying the all-time record doesn't mean the SanFrancisco Giants are stuck in neutral.


Pedro Feliz broke open a tie game with a two-run single in thesixth, leading the Giants to a 3-1 victory over the Los AngelesDodgers on Tuesday.


Bonds, who is 1-for-9 with seven walks since hitting homer No.754, finished 0-for-2 with two walks and scored a run for SanFrancisco, which won for the fifth time in its last sixcontests.


"I don't know if he (Bonds) is pressing or not, but it will onlybe a matter of time until he hits those home runs," Giantsmanager Bruce Bochy said.


The seven-time MVP was lifted for pinch runner Fred Lewis in theseventh inning when he reached base on a fielding error byDodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal.


Feliz, a career .252 hitter, has been on a tear over his last 18games, batting .333 (22-for-66) with 17 RBI. His clutch hitbroke open a 1-1 game and came off Dodgers starter Brad Penny(13-2), who saw an end to his 12-game unbeaten streak andsuffered his first loss against a National League team thisseason.


"I just have to go out and try to make things happen when wehave guys on base," Feliz said. "I got a good pitch to handleand hit it hard."


It was an uncharacteristic outing for the two-time All-Star, onein which he appeared to lose his command and composure.Following the final pitch of a five-pitch walk to Bonds to leadoff the seventh, Penny openly questioned and expressed hisdispleasure with the lack of a strike call by home plate umpireEd Hickox.


"I thought it was a close strike but after looking at the replayit was a little high," Penny said. "I didn't pay attention toall the lights going off when Barry was up. Please no morequestions about Bonds."


The walk seemed to agitate Penny, who walked the next hitter,Ryan Klesko, on four pitches - matching his season high withfive free passes. After a single from Bengie Molina loaded thebases, Feliz scored Bonds and Klesko with a two-run single tocenter for a 3-1 advantage.


"I didn't get a lot of run support today from my team, butthat's baseball," Penny said. "Sometimes, you just have to tipyour hat to the other team.


"I struggled with my command from the beginning and just nevercould get in a good groove."


That would all the offensive support that Giants starter NoahLowry (12-7) would need. The lefthander permitted just one rundespite allowing five hits and five walks over 5 2/3 innings,becoming the fifth NL pitcher to reach 12 wins and improved to4-0 with a 2.80 ERA in six career starts at Dodger Stadium.

"This felt like just any other start for me," Lowry said. "OnceI hit the mound, it's just getting out there and pitching mygame."


Randy Winn had four hits for the Giants, who won for just theseventh time in 46 games in which they scored fewer than fourruns.


Relievers Kevin Correia and Steve Kline pitched 2 1/3 scorelessinnings before handing the game over in the ninth to closer BradHennessey, who pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save in 11chances.


"Our guys in the pen came out and just shut down their offensetonight," Lowry said. "Anytime I leave with the lead, I feelconfident that our (bullpen) will come in and do a good job."

Penny yielded three runs and six hits over six frames for theDodgers, who dropped to 17-5 in contests started by their ace.

The Giants extended the odd streak that exists between the teamsover the last two seasons - the road team has won each of the15 meetings.
