Multi-HR Day for Bonds as Pirates Overpower Mets, 12-10
Pittsburgh and New York engaged in a slugfest.

The 12-10 Pittsburgh win over New York was due in large part to Barry Bonds. The Pirates left fielder hit 3 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring three times. Esteban Yan was called on to finish, recording his 5th save.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Abraham Nunez came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing New York pitcher Mike Williams, he hit a full count fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Pittsburgh on top, 10-8.

In postgame remarks, Nunez said: "To all who've been doubting my effort -- I hope they saw this game."

Now 10-2, the 2004 Pirates have been sensational so far.
