2002 – Livan Hernandez (12-16) pitches a masterful two-hitter as the Giants beat the Padres, 6 – 0. Hernandez is tied with Ben Sheets for most losses in the National League. The Giants stay three games ahead of Los Angeles for the wild card spot. Reggie Sanders connects twice for homers, and Barry Bonds walks in his 16th straight game to tie Jack Clark’s National League record set in 1987. He’s walked 194 times; he’ll end the year with 198 passes, a new major-league record topping Babe Ruth’s mark of 1923. Bonds will finish with a .582 on-base percentage, easily topping the old mark of .553 that Ted Williams had set in 1941.
