Barry Bonds has just six career hits off Jake Peavy - but one moved the seven-time NL MVP into an exclusive club, while another temporarily ended questions about his hitting prowess.

The matchup between Bonds and Peavy will be the highlight when the San Francisco Giants welcome the San Diego Pardes to AT&T Park for a two-game series starting Monday.

Facing the Padres ace on Sept. 17, 2004, Bonds became the first player in 31 years and third overall to hit 700 career homers, joining Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron .

Injuries and three surgeries on one knee in 2005 limited Bonds to just 14 games, and an investigation into allegations of steroid abuse continue to hang over Bonds' pursuit of one of baseball's most hallowed records.

On opening day, Bonds showed he hadn't lost his hitting ability when he hit a double on the first pitch from Peavy. Bonds' 81 career homers and 203 RBIs off Padres pitchers are his most against any team in his 20-year career.

Bonds is batting .384 (5-for-13) with two homers and two doubles over his last four games. He finished the first month of the season with a .277 average, three homers and 10 RBIs while drawing 26 walks, 12 of them intentional.

''I expected more or less a month like that,'' Giants manager Felipe Alou said. ''We got him through healthy, healthy enough to play the first of May. That was a good month. Not a lot of home runs, but a lot of RBIs and a lot of walks.''

Peavy (1-3, 5.17 ERA) is looking for his first win since beating San Francisco on opening day. In that contest on April 3, the right-hander allowed a run and four hits over seven innings in a 6-1 home victory.

But he has struggled since, losing three of four starts while giving up 17 runs and 29 hits in 24 1-3 innings. His personal five-game winning streak over Arizona came to an end Tuesday after he was tagged for six runs and 10 hits through 6 1-3 innings in a 7-0 loss at Petco Park.

''I just gave up a lot of hits,'' Peavy said. ''Some on decent pitches, and some on pitches that caught too much of the plate. I just wasn't getting through the ball.''

San Diego (9-15) has managed only two runs scored in Peavy's last three starts.

Jamey Wright (2-1, 3.34) looks to bounce back from his first loss of 2006 when he takes the mound for the Giants. The right-hander allowed a season-high 10 hits over eight innings Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the New York Mets .

He is 3-5 with a 5.42 ERA in 15 career starts against San Diego, and Padres batters are hitting .313 against him.

Bonds reached another milestone on Sunday in an 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. With a seventh-inning double, Bonds moved past Ruth into sole possession of third place on the all-time extra-base hits list with 1,357.

Bonds needs 21 extra-base hits to move past Stan Musial into second place. Aaron is the all-time leader with 1,477.

San Francisco (13-11) may be without Moises Alou , who felt a twinge in his hip after grounding into a double play in the ninth on Sunday.

''I felt it and I slowed down. I probably need a day or two off,'' said the Giants right fielder, who is batting .500 with three homers and 12 RBIs during a six-game hitting streak.

San Diego snapped a season-high five-game losing skid Sunday with a 6-5 win in 10 innings over the Los Angeles Dodgers . Mark Bellhorn 's RBI single started a five-run ninth inning and he singled home the winning run in the 10th.

Bellhorn finished with a season-high three hits.

The rally equaled their run total from the previous five games combined and tied a franchise record for largest ninth-inning deficit to overcome and earn a victory.

''It's a huge win, hopefully it does turn things around for us,'' Padres right fielder Brian Giles said. ''It's good for us to just win a game.''
