Fun fact: After going hitless in 8 at bats against Tim Wakefield, Barry Bonds hit #748 Sunday, marking the first time he's nailed one off a knuckleballer since he hit #73 off Los Angeles Dodger Dennis Springer in 2001 and the first one he's hit at Fenway Park. He also singled in the eighth.
That solo shot didn't do much in the way of winning, however.
Wakefield pitched well before hitting a kink in the sixth to help the Boston Red Sox complete the three-game sweep over the San Francisco Giants. He allowed five runs and eight hits with a walk, striking out three over 5.2 innings.
Manny Ramirez was 2-for-4 with three RBIs, David Ortiz had a pair of doubles, and Kevin Youkilis went 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs for the Sox.
Matt Morris lasted just four innings for San Francisco, allowing eight runs on nine hits. He walked two and struck out two.
In just his sixth career game, Nate Schierholtz had three hits, including his first career triple while Pedro Feliz hit a solo homer for the Giants - his ninth of the season and 98th of his career.
