Still a bull market in Bonds...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds hit his 639th career home run an estimated 471 feet, and Marquis Grissom homered and drove in three runs as the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 on Monday night.

Rookie right-hander Jerome Williams pitched his second complete game of the year in his eighth major league start. Williams (4-1) won his fourth straight, allowing seven hits, striking out four and walking one.

The 21-year-old Williams retired eight of the first 10 batters he faced and got an added bonus when he doubled in the seventh for his first major league hit.

Bonds' solo shot - his 26th of the year - was the second-longest homer he's hit at 4-year-old Pacific Bell Park. The slugger hit one an estimated 491 feet last Sept. 9 against the Dodgers' Odalis Perez.

Grissom hit a two-run homer with one out in the first off Garrett Stephenson (4-9), and Bonds connected one batter later, sending the ball high over the main concession stand in center field. It was the third time this season the Giants hit back-to-back homers.
