Tim Wakefield learned the hard way not to try to sneak a knuckleball by Barry Bonds. Bonds hit his 748th career homer in Boston’s 9-5 victory over the Giants on Sunday, adding Fenway Park, the Red Sox and Wakefield to his scrapbook and moving within seven of Hank Aaron’s mark. Bonds had been hitless in eight at-bats against Wakefield, even joking that the pitches were too slow to hit hard.
