To say Barry Bonds is on a hot streak is an understatement. Of the 9 games played this morning, Bonds homered in ALL NINE of them. He hit 12 homers in the 9 games. He has homered in 14 of the last 16 games and now has 68 home runs for the season.
St. Louis went 6-3 in this set, and it was enough to vault past Brooklyn, who stumbled through a 3-6 stretch. Boston also went 6-3 to jump over Chicago, who went a dismal 2-7.
A couple of the St. Louis games made the highlight list. In one of their losses, Tom Seaver (CIN) struck out 17, the league high. But the weirdest box score was the St. Louis game against Jack Chesbro of Chicago. Chesbro tossed a 2-hitter against the LeftOuts, but the two hits were both homers by Bonds, and Chesbro lost the game 4-1 as part of the LeftOuts' 3-game sweep over Chicago. Bonds also equaled the season high for walks in a game with 5. The one time that game that Chicago DIDN'T walk him, he homered.
Rube Marquard (BAL) won a 1-0 game over Detroit. The following day, Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown tossed a 2-hitter as Baltimore shut out Detroit on back to back days.
