Superstars not around as Giants host Reds
Sep 21, 2007 - 2:55 PM Cincinnati (70-83) at San Francisco (67-86) 10:15 pm EDTSAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - The showdown between two of the game's greatest sluggers did not quite materialize as planned.
As the San Francisco Giants and Cincinnati Reds head into the second game of a four-game series on Friday, the status of Barry Bonds is uncertain while Ken Griffey Jr. is out for the season.
Bonds, the all-time home run king with 762, has been bothered by a sprained big toe and is likely to see limited action in what could be his final homestand as a Giant.
The slugger's contract with the Giants is up at the end of the season and there is speculation that the 43-year-old will retire or sign with an American League club to serve as a designated hitter.
As for Griffey, the owner of 593 career home runs, the Reds announced Thursday that the outfielder's groin strain is a season-ending injury. The 36-year-old suffered the injury Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.
The beneficiary of Griffey's absence will be Giants starter Tim Lincecum (7-5, 4.00 ERA). The rookie righthander is seeking his first win since August 16, a span of five starts.
Cincinnati counters with Matt Belisle (8-9, 5.39), who was knocked around for five runs in four innings during a July 4 outing against the Giants.
