LOS ANGELES -- At least two San Francisco Giants thoroughly enjoyed Barry Bonds' 741st home run Wednesday night -- Bonds himself, and infielder Rich Aurilia.

"I've never seen him have so much fun," Aurilia said, referring to the rejuvenated spirit Bonds has displayed since Spring Training. Aurilia added, "I never would have felt comfortable slapping him in the head the way I did tonight when he hit that home run. He didn't say anything, so maybe I'll slap him every time and hit him harder."

At the current rate, Aurilia eventually could give Bonds a concussion.

Bonds' three-run clout off Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Randy Wolf left him 14 home runs short of Hank Aaron's all-time Major League home run mark. The Giants left fielder has accelerated his pace recently, hitting three homers in his past four games and six in his past nine.

Bonds also lined an eighth-inning single off Jonathan Broxton, which led to the Giants' final run in their seventh consecutive victory, a 6-4 decision.

"You like him up there," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He's an impact player. You know when he's up there with men on base, it's an exciting time."

Bonds' second career homer off Wolf also was his 64th homer against Los Angeles, breaking a tie with Philadelphia and Montreal/Washington for his second-most against any opponent. Bonds has 86 against the Padres.

With his homer, which capped San Francisco's four-run first inning, Bonds tied Pete Rose for fifth all-time with 2,165 runs scored and surpassed Willie McCovey atop the Giants' San Francisco-era list with 1,389 RBIs.

Bonds entered Wednesday leading the National League with a .771 slugging percentage and ranking second with a .468 on-base percentage.
