Bonds 3-4 as Red Sox Squeeze Past Cleveland
The Boston Red Sox scored a 8-7 win versus the Cleveland Spiders at Fenway Park. Boston right fielder Barry Bonds nabbed top player honors in the tight contest. Boston reliever Trever Miller picked up the win to move to 3-0. Mark Wohlers suffered the loss. Doug Bochtler converted his 5th save in 7 tries.

There was more than one reason the Red Sox beat the Spiders, but Bonds's big at-bat in the bottom of the eighth was an important factor. He staked his team to a 8-7 lead when he hit a 2-run double.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Bonds told the Boston Gazette. "It's as simple as that."

The 4th-place Spiders have lost 4 straight games.
