MLB Game of the Day: Nationals vs Giants

Yes, the game that everybody knew would come one day. As Barry Bonds stepped up to the plate and hit that historic baseball, he would return to be the king of major league home runs. Number 756 would enable Bonds to stand alone, not amongst baseball's greats, but solely himself. To the spectacular, unforgettable, euphoric event that will uiltimately seat itself alongside baseball's finest moments. The first inning went by with no action, but it would be made up for later on in the ball game. Two Giant RBI's would tally a 2-0 lead after the second inning, and then the momentum would shift to the visiting Nationals team, who with a solo home run and a two run homer, took the lead 3-2. Bengie Molina's double home run would send himself and Bonds around to home plate, seizing the lead 4-3 in the process. Yet another home run would be tallied by the Nats, as Brain Schneider scored, tying the game on his solo shot effort. With all the home runs being scored, there was one player who would not be denied yesterday, as Barry Bonds stepped up to home plate and blasted career HR #756 in front of a his family and a sellout crowd of supporters. Bonds celebrated deservingly, and the home crowd enjoyed the lead once more. Randy Winn's run scoring base hit would give the Giants a 6-4 lead heading into th 8th inning. Would the Giants be able to make history and give the home crowd a 'W' on the schedule? Not if the Nats had anything to say about it. Four precisely planted hits from the Washington Nationals, to the crowd's dismay, would score four runs to give the Nats an 8-6 lead with one inning of play remaining. Despite their best efforts to preserve Bond's night of glory, the Giants would lose the game by the same score, 8-6.
