Bonds not making much noise in Milwaukee

Star homerless again in Giants' win; unknown if he'll play finale of road trip

Barry Bonds went 0-for-2 with two walks against Milwaukee on Saturday to remain at 753 career home runs, two shy of all-time leader Hank Aaron.

Dave Bush (8-8) struck out seven and avoided becoming the 444th pitcher to allow a homer to Bonds, but lost for only the second time in seven starts. The NL Central-leading Brewers caught a break when Chicago lost 3-2 earlier in the day to Arizona at Wrigley Field, keeping Milwaukee’s division lead at 2½ games.

“It bothers me to lose two games. That’s what bothers me, all right?” Brewers manager Ned Yost barked when asked about the poor performance in a TV game.

Bonds said before the game he wants to break the record soon — and the Giants sure would love for it to happen at home this coming week.

“As fast as possible, but nobody is cooperating right now. Not even myself,” Bonds said.

Bonds said earlier Saturday he is unfazed by the threat of an indictment.

“Do I look concerned?” Bonds asked a small group of reporters by his locker. “You guys just want more stories about me. It’s unreal.

“But I’m not discussing it. I haven’t been discussing it forever and I will not discuss it. You guys are going to write your story what you’re going to write. Just do that. Leave me out of it.”

Notes: Johnny Estrada was hit on his right arm by Taschner’s pitch in the ninth and left the game. ... Vizquel played his 2,512th game at SS, moving past Ozzie Smith and into sole possession of second place on the career list behind Venezuelan countryman Luis Aparicio. ... The Brewers reinstated RHP Chris Spurling from the bereavement list and optioned OF Gabe Gross to Triple-A Nashville. ... Milwaukee drew 43,180 fans for its 18th sellout.
