Marlins’ Olson shuts down Giants
Mike Jacobs hit a solo homer and Scott Olsen pitched seven strong innings Monday night, leading the Florida Marlins to a 5-1 victory over Barry Bonds and the San Francisco Giants. Bonds went 1-for-4 with a single in his first game since hitting his 715th homer to move past Babe Ruth into second place on baseball’s career list. A small, but mostly appreciative crowd stood and cheered when he stepped up to the plate for his first at-bat and again when he singled off Olsen in the fourth.
