Bonds' 13th blast unlucky for Cincinnati

Barry Bonds hit a solo blast (his 13th of the season) in the top of the 1st off of Bill Gullickson and that got the Bucs going in the right direction, as they top the Reds 6-1. Bonds later added a single past fellow rookie Barry Larkin and stole his 30th base of the season.

Barry Bonds ripped 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Rick Rhoden struck out 10
batters as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Cincinnati Reds by a score of
11 to 3 at Three Rivers Stadium.
 
Bonds enjoyed a fine evening at the plate. He blasted a solo shot in the 7th
inning and cleared the fences for a two-run home run in the 8th inning.
Cincinnati was out-hit by Pittsburgh, 10 hits to 5.  
 
The winning pitcher was Rhoden(11-10) who allowed 3 runs in 8 innings. Chris
Welsh(4-6) took the loss.  Jim Leyland was asked about the performance of
Rhoden, 'He had his good stuff out there tonight.  The fans really get into
it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that seems to give him even
more adrenalin.'
