SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants left fielder Barry Bonds collected his 743rd career home run and continued his ascent on other statistical charts on Wednesday night in San Francisco's 5-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Bonds, who lined a two-run homer in the fourth inning, needs 12 homers to tie all-time home run leader Hank Aaron. Bonds left AT&T Park without speaking to reporters.

Bonds completed his evening with a two-run single off Manny Corpas in the eighth inning, erasing a 3-2 Giants deficit. With his four RBIs, Bonds tied Stan Musial for fourth all-time in that category with 1,951. Bonds also needs three more runs to tie Aaron and Babe Ruth for third place with 2,174.

Bonds faced Corpas with the bases loaded and one out, an ideal situation for the Giants. It was Bonds' first at-bat of the season with the bases full. "You like your chances there," manager Bruce Bochy said.

Earlier, with one out in the fourth, Rockies starter Jeff Francis hit Rich Aurilia with a pitch. Up came Bonds, who lined Francis' first delivery onto the right-field arcade. It was Bonds' second homer of his career off Francis and 52nd against Colorado.

Bonds, a left-handed batter, has defied the percentages against Francis and other left-handers, hitting .400 (8-for-20) off them.

Bonds, who has eight homers in his last 16 games, has nine homers overall this season, tying him for second in the National League with Philadelphia's Jimmy Rollins. Atlanta's Chipper Jones leads the league with 10.
