Barry Bonds logged four more hitless at-bats in the San Francisco Giants' 4-3 loss to the San Diego Padres on Friday night at Petco Park.

In three entertaining at-bats that pitted Bonds, soon to take his statistical place as the game's greatest home-run hitter, against Greg Maddux, the 340-game winner, both playing into their 40s, Maddux won each.

"I didn't want to be the guy," Maddux said.

Asked about his "game plan" against Bonds, Maddux said, "The game plan was to try to win, to win and beat the Giants. Not one player."

Greg gets it. Good work future Hall of Famer.
