Bonds makes 5th HR a game-winner

SAN FRANCISCO -- After receiving the National League MVP award, Barry Bonds showed why he could win another one.

Bonds hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning, his fifth home run in the first four games of the season, to lead the San Francisco Giants over the San Diego Padres 3-1 Friday in their home opener.

Reggie Sanders also homered for the Giants, who have won four straight, including a season-opening series at Los Angeles in which Bonds homered twice in the first two games.

After Rich Aurilia was hit by Steve Reed (0-1) leading off the 10th, and Padres manager Bruce Bochy brought in left-hander Alan Embree to face Bonds. With the crowd on its feet, Bonds connected on an 0-1 pitch, sending it over the wall in right.

Pirates 2, Cubs 1

CHICAGO -- Dave Williams gave up a controversial homer to Sammy Sosa, but that's about all Chicago could muster off the Pittsburgh left-hander in its home opener.

Williams pitched six strong innings as the Pirates won for the third time in four games -- their best start since 1996.

Trailing 1-0, Pittsburgh pushed across two runs off Jason Bere (0-1) in the seventh

Mets 9, Braves 3

ATLANTA -- Jeromy Burnitz hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs, Mike Piazza added a solo shot and Pedro Astacio (1-0) won in his Mets' debut, allowing three runs and seven hits in 6 2-3 innings. He had been 2-13 against the Braves -- but 2-2 at Turner Field.

Expos 8, Reds 7

CINCINNATI -- Masato Yoshii (1-0) allowed one run and seven hits in six innings as Montreal built an 8-0 lead and hung on.
