With two home runs in his last game,
Barry Bonds emphatically put an end to one of the worst slumps of his career while also moving within two homers of Hank Aaron's all-time record.Tonight, commissioner Bud Selig will be in attendance as Bonds continues his pursuit of the milestone in Milwaukee -- where Aaron started and finished his career -- when the
San Francisco Giants (39-54) open a three-game series against the NL Central-leading Brewers (54-41) at Miller Park.Bonds returned to the starting lineup Thursday for the first time in four games after sitting to let his sore lower body recover, and hit home runs No. 752 and 753 in a 9-8 loss to the
Chicago Cubs. It was Bonds' second multi-homer game of the year, giving him 19 homers on the season."Right now, I just feel good. My body feels great. I feel rejuvenated a little bit," said Bonds, who was mired in a season-worst 0-for-21 slump, two off his career high set during his rookie season of 1986.Bonds, who turns 43 on Tuesday, needs three homers to break the record of 755 set by Aaron, who played 12 seasons with the Milwaukee Braves and two with the Brewers. Aaron hit the last home run of his career at Milwaukee's County Stadium on July 20, 1976.Milwaukee is also home to Selig, who hasn't indicated officially if he'll be on hand for any Bonds games beyond Friday's."It doesn't mean anything different than anywhere else," Bonds said.
