Bonds goes 0-for-2; Lincecum leads Giants past Brewers

Baseball Betting Lines

07/22/2007 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Barry Bonds went 0-for-2, failing to move any closer to Hank Aaron's all-time home run record, but his teammates provided enough offense to power San Francisco past the Milwaukee Brewers, 8-0, in the second of a three-game series at Miller Park.

Commissioner Bud Selig was in attendance, with Bonds sitting two home runs shy of Aaron's mark of 755. Selig plans to be there for the third game of the series as the home run chase goes through his home town.

Not only is Milwaukee the home of Selig, but also where Aaron played from 1954-65 with the Braves and then in 1975-76 with the Brewers. On this date back in 1976, Aaron hit historic home run No. 755 right here in Milwaukee.

Pedro Feliz homered for the Giants, who have won three of their last five games. Ray Durham went 2-for-5 with three RBI in the win. Tim Lincecum (5-2), who posted back-to-back wins on July 1 and 7, extended his stretch of impressive outings by tossing a four-hitter with eight strikeouts and a walk over eight innings, retiring the first 11 batters he faced.

Craig Counsell went 1-for-3 for the Brewers, who have lost three of four. Dave Bush (8-8) allowed three runs on six hits with two walks and seven strikeouts over six innings, while avoiding becoming the 444th pitcher to allow a Bonds homer.

San Francisco scored a run in the second, as Ryan Klesko grounded a lead-off single, Bengie Molina doubled him over to third, and he came home on Feliz's single.

The Giants plated a pair of runs in the fourth. Klesko walked and then stole second, and Feliz blasted a two-run shot to right-center field on a 3-0 pitch rather than seek the walk.

San Francisco turned it into a rout with a five-run ninth off reliever Chris Spurling, who got reinstated from the bereavement list prior to the game. Feliz singled and advanced to second on a throwing error by J.J. Hardy. Omar Vizquel and Lincecum both walked to load the bases for Dave Roberts and then Randy Winn, both of whom singled in a run before Derrick Turnbow replaced Spurling on the mound. Durham lined a bases-clearing double before Fred Lewis grounded out and Klesko struck out swinging.

Game Notes

There was a chance that Bonds would not be in the starting lineup due to Saturday's 3:55 p.m. (et) start time. The two teams squared off in a night contest Friday and Bonds recently sat out the first three games of a four-game set with the Cubs to rest his legs...Johnny Estrada got hit on the right arm by a pitch in the ninth and left the game...Vizquel appeared in his 2,512th game at shortstop, surpassing Ozzie Smith for second place on the all-time list behind Venezuelan countryman Luis Aparicio...Milwaukee optioned outfielder Gabe Gross to Triple-A Nashville prior to the game...The Brewers had won seven straight -- all at home -- versus the Giants until Friday's loss. That included a three-game sweep this year in Milwaukee from June 18-20.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
