SAN DIEGO (AP) -- The San Diego Padres did indeed make Petco Park

Barry Bonds-proof. They just didn't make it totally Giants-proof.

Bonds remained on hold with 659 homers after failing to connect

for the fifth straight game, although he was intentionally walked

and scored in the five-run eighth inning Sunday night that carried

San Francisco to a 6-3 victory over the Padres.

Bonds will continue his pursuit of No. 660, which will tie him

for third on the career list with his godfather, Willie Mays, when

the Giants play their home opener Monday against Milwaukee.

"I'd like to do it at home," said Bonds, who was 2-for-10 with

four walks in the first series at the Padres' $458 million downtown

ballpark. "It's going to come, no matter what. It's just when."

Marquis Grissom was 4-for-5 with two runs.

Bonds came up in the ninth with one on and one out against

rookie reliever Jason Szuminski, who was facing just his third

batter in his big league debut. Szuminski, the first MIT grad to

reach the majors, got Bonds to fly out to left on a 2-1 pitch.

"I was trying to throw him strikes and throw to my strengths

and get him out," Szuminski said. "I did get a front-row seat

about how strong he was. I thought he popped the ball up and he hit

it pretty deep."

Bonds finished 1-for-3 with a sharp double down the left-field

line in the sixth and two walks. Since homering in the season

opener last Monday at Houston, Bonds is 3-for-17 with six walks.

On Saturday night, following a 6-4 win, San Diego's Phil Nevin

and Ryan Klesko groused because drives that would have been home

runs at Qualcomm Stadium were instead falling in for doubles or

going for outs at Petco, which opened Thursday. The power alleys

are 402 feet in left and 411 in right.

Bonds has 75 homers against the Padres, his most against any

team, and he hit 39 at Qualcomm.

"It's different," Bonds said about Petco Park. "It takes time

to get used to it. We all feel good. It's a tough ballpark. It's

odd when you have only one home run in San Diego, period. Even they

hit home runs against us. I think Klesko probably would have had

four in this series."

The only homer in the series was by Grissom on Thursday night.

San Diego's bullpen fell apart in the eighth, wasting seven

strong innings by Jake Peavy.

With one out and two on following Marquis Grissom's freak

double, San Diego manager Bruce Bochy had his only lefty reliever,

Eddie Oropesa, come on to intentionally walk Bonds and load the

bases.

Jay Witasick (0-1) relieved and allowed a two-run double to

pinch-hitter Pedro Feliz on his first pitch. Edgardo Alfonzo

followed with an RBI single to tie it. With a two-run single off

Antonio Osuna, Neifi Perez was the seventh straight Giants batter

to reach.

"I'd much rather face Feliz than Bonds," Bochy said.

Grissom's double caromed off the glove of rookie shortstop

Khalil Greene and bounced into short right, bringing up Bonds.

"It's satisfying for us, period," Bonds said. "We're at .500,

on the road. We've been gone for two months. It's just going to be

good to go home."

Giants manager Felipe Alou said the Padres "pitched great to

Barry. They kept changing zones, kept changing speeds. They walked

him when they felt they had to."

Said Peavy: "He's a great hitter, there's no doubt about that.

But I wasn't afraid to give up the big home run that everybody was

talking about."

Jason Christiansen (1-0) pitched the seventh for the win. Matt

Herges worked the ninth for his third save in four chances.

San Diego's Brian Giles hit a two-run triple off the right-field

fence in the fourth inning, then popped up from his slide and ran

home when second baseman Ray Durham made an errant throw to third

base.

Brett Tomko, who pitched for the Padres in 2002, retired the

first nine batters. He opened the fourth by allowing Sean

Burroughs' infield single and Mark Loretta's opposite-field a

single to right. Giles drove them both in with his triple off the

top of the fence in right, then scored on Durham's bad throw.

Peavy pitched seven scoreless innings, holding San Francisco to

six hits, striking out four and walking two.

Tomko allowed three runs and four hits in six innings and struck

out one.Game notes
Szuminski allowed a bases-loaded walk to Michael Tucker in

the ninth. ... Bochy said it's doubtful LHP Sterling Hitchcock will

make his scheduled start Saturday night against Arizona because of

a pulled muscle in his ribcage. If Hitchcock can't start, RHP

Ismael Valdez will go.
