SAN FRANCISCO - It’s beginning to look as if Barry Bonds’ next milestone home run might have to wait until his team’s upcoming trip.

The slugger spent another day stuck at 713 and one behind Babe Ruth for second place on the career list, going 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout Saturday in the San Francisco Giants’ 6-5 comeback victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Bonds wasn’t around to celebrate Omar Vizquel’s winning sacrifice fly to right after Jason Ellison replaced him in left field in the top of the ninth.

“Well, too bad,” Vizquel said when told Bonds was inside getting ready to leave, though he hadn’t noticed because there were so many people around him.

The Giants scored four runs in the ninth against Danys Baez (2-2), also getting RBI singles from Lance Niekro and pinch-hitter Dan Ortmeier and a run-scoring double by Todd Greene. Jose Vizcaino entered to run for Greene at third and scored the winning run. Vizquel was immediately mobbed near first — Bonds nowhere to be seen.

What a day for Vizcaino in less than 5 minutes of work.

“It’s not a bad day for the team,” he said. “I’m just happy to be able to score the winning run. It’s a ball where I know I have a chance to score.”

Now, Bonds must hit two homers Sunday in the finale of the seven-game homestand to pass Ruth before leaving town for a six-game trip.

Bonds hasn’t homered in five games since hitting No. 713 with a 450-foot shot last Sunday in Philadelphia, and manager Felipe Alou even moved him up from the cleanup spot to No. 3 in the order in an effort to get him going.

But Bonds is hitless in his last 13 at-bats with five walks since his seventh-inning single Tuesday night against former teammate Scott Eyre of the Cubs.

“A couple of at-bats were better,” Alou said. “The other ones were more or less what we’ve seen in the last 18 at-bats.”

After Sunday’s series finale, the Giants leave town for a three-game series starting Monday at Houston, followed by a weekend interleague matchup at Oakland in which Bonds can play designated hitter. Giants’ management can’t be thrilled thinking about the possibility of Bonds passing Ruth in the run-down ballpark across San Francisco Bay.

“We’re not waiting to see Barry get the milestone,” teammate Steve Finley said. “We’re trying to win the game.”

Bonds struck out looking in the first after taking three straight balls from Aaron Sele to start a seven-pitch at-bat.

Some fans were on their feet with chants of “Barry! Barry!” — though the stadium lacked the atmosphere of the previous night in the series opener. Many fans left after Bonds did.
