Moyer baffles Bonds as M’s sweep Giants

SEATTLE – Adrian Beltre homered and singled in another run, and Jamie Moyer stymied fellow 40-something Barry Bonds and the rest of the Giants in the Mariners’ 5-1 win over San Francisco on Sunday.

Seattle swept the three-game series by keeping Bonds homerless in 10 plate appearances following his home run Friday night.

Moyer (4-6) allowed Jason Ellison’s home run leading off the game and then five singles in eight innings. He walked none and struck out four – including Bonds twice. J.J. Putz worked the ninth, and struck out Bonds on a 97-mph fastball to end the game.

Bonds, three weeks before turning 42, went 0 for 3 against the 43-year-old Moyer.

Moyer retired Bonds on three called strikes to end the first inning. The third was a 76 mph floater.

Bonds has five home runs in 35 at-bats against Moyer. The first was Bonds’ 11th career homer in 1986, when Bonds was a rookie with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Moyer was a rookie with the Chicago Cubs.
