A pair of two-run homers -- by Gary Matthews in the eighth inning and Bobby Bonds in the ninth -- powered the Giants to a 6-4 victory over the Phillies. Ollie Brown had a homer for the Phils, who took a 4-2 lead in the seventh with three runs on two walks, a double by Bill Robinson, infield hit by Larry Bowa and throwing error by Tito Fuentes. Bonds doubled and Mathews hit his homer to tie the score in the eighth. Then in the ninth, after Ken Rudolph walked, Bonds belted his round-tripper for the winning blow. [The Sporting News]
