NC Wins All-Star Game for Fifth Straight Season

Barry Bonds homered twice and drove in four runs to lead the National
Conference to an 8-1 victory in the 2004 All-Star Game.  Pedro
Martinez threw three shutout innings for the win and the loss went to
Jason Schmidt.  The win was the NC's fifth straight in the
"mid-summer" classic.

Jim Thome scored the first NC run as he singled in the second, went to
third on a Jeff Kent double, and scored on a ground out by Andruw
Jones.  Bonds stretched the lead to 2-0 in the third inning with a
solo home run.  After a Javy Lopez triple into the Comerica gap led to
a AC run in the fourth, the NC blew the game open in the fifth with a
six run inning, culminating in a three-run shot from Bonds.

From there on out, the pitching staffs took over, with the two
all-star offenses combining for only two AC singles the rest of the
way.  Juan Pierre did threaten a run in the seventh after a leadoff
single and two straight stolen bases.  But Billy Wagner got Alfonso
Soriano to strike out and Francisco Rodriguez got Alex Cintron to
strike out and induced an inning ending ground out from Mark Teixeira.

The only bad news from the game is that Jason Kendall left the game
after being hit by a pitch in the midst of the fifth inning rally.
Initial precautionary x-rays were negative.

The AC did have one highlight as Mike Lowell won the pregame Home Run
Derby.  The team competition was won by the National Conference team.
