SAN FRANCISCO — Carlos Delgado splashed a Barry Bonds-like home run into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field fence, and then did a little more later.

Delgado hit a solo homer into the water and doubled in the tying run in the eighth, and David Wright had a go-ahead, two-run double in the ninth to lead the Mets past the San Francisco Giants 5–3 yesterday.

New York rallied to win their second straight series, loading the bases in the ninth against former Mets closer Armando Benitez (0–1), who has converted all seven of his save opportunities but needed work even in a non-save situation.

Jose Reyes got aboard when right fielder Todd Linden and second baseman Ray Durham miscommunicated on a shallow fly and the ball dropped in for a hit. That loaded the bases for Wright, who lined a double down the left-field line.

Bonds went 0–for–2 and drew two walks to give him 33 — including his 12th intentional free pass — and played for the third straight game a day after hitting his 745th career home run. He needs 10 homers to match Hank Aaron’s record of 755.

Dave Roberts hit a rare home run in a rare circumstance for the Giants, who concluded their season-long 10-game homestand at 5–5.

San Francisco’s speedy leadoff man hit a two-run homer in the fifth despite playing with an inflamed elbow that could soon need surgery to remove bone chips and spurs. It was his second home run, and strangely enough his other longball came April 24 on the first day the elbow began bothering him.

Delgado’s double saved John Maine from his first defeat of the year. Ruben Gotay also homered for the Mets, and Aaron Heilman recorded two outs for the win.
