Bonds Slugs Red Sox to 7-1 Win
The Boston Red Sox topped the Florida Marlins by the score of 7-1, with the biggest share of the credit going to left fielder Barry Bonds. Bonds was 2-2 with 2 home runs and 3 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Red Sox on the day. The winner was Pete Harnisch, who threw 126 pitches over 8 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 3 hits. Boston is now 44-70, while Florida is 67-47.

One important at-bat for Boston came with one out in the bottom of the first inning. With a runner on 2nd, Bonds hit a 2-run home run, which contributed to the Red Sox win.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Boston manager Brett Williams.
