Baseball: Angels' record run batters the Giants

Barry Bonds keeps hitting home runs, but the Anaheim Angels keep hitting just about everything.

Bonds belted his third homer in as many games but his San Francisco Giants were simply battered by the Angels, who continued to set hitting records in a 10-4 victory on Tuesday night to take a 2-1 lead after Game Three of the best-of-seven World Series.

Bonds connected for a two-run shot in the fifth inning, a majestic blast to the deepest part of Pacific Bell Park. It was his record seventh post-season home run and he became just the second player to hit homers in the first three games of the World Series. But all it did was cut San Francisco's deficit to 8-4. The Angels had already put together four-run innings in the third and fourth, becoming the first World Series team to bat around in consecutive innings.

The Angels drilled 16 hits as they dealt Livan Hernandez his first career post-season defeat and posed problems for just about every reliever used by the Giants manager, Dusty Baker. "Anaheim was hitting and hitting everything we threw," said Hernandez.
