Bonds moves within seven HRs of Aaron

BOSTON -- Barry Bonds added baseball's oldest ballpark to his long-ball list on his way to the sport's most hallowed record.

The San Francisco slugger hit his 748th career homer in Boston's 9-5 victory over the Giants on Sunday, adding Fenway Park, the Red Sox and knuckleballer Tim Wakefield to his totals and moving within seven of Hank Aaron's record.

Bonds had been hitless in eight at-bats against Wakefield before going 2-for-3 on Sunday.

The San Francisco slugger connected on a 1-0 pitch from Wakefield to lead off the sixth inning, lining a shot into the Giants bullpen. It was his 14th of the season and first since June 11.

Fans booed when Bonds stepped to the plate, cheered briefly when the ball went over right fielder J.D. Drew's outstretched glove and then resumed booing as Bonds circled the bases.

Bonds, 42, had never played in Boston before Friday night. Fenway Park is the 36th different ballpark in which he's homered, and Wakefield is the 441st pitcher to surrender one of his homers.
