SAN FRANCISCO -Barry Bonds homered for the third time in two days to help lead the San Francisco Giants to a 14-4 rout of the Montreal Expos in the second game of a doubleheader after losing the opener Wednesday.

Bonds connected for a solo shot off Francis Beltran in the fifth inning of the nightcap for his 34th homer and No. 692 of his career. The 40-year-old slugger left afterward to rest and Dustan Mohr replaced him in left field.

Mohr, batting in Bonds’ spot, homered into the left-field bleachers with two outs in the seventh. The two-run shot was estimated at 451 feet and gave him seven homers.

Beltran became the 409th pitcher to give up a homer to Bonds, who drew two intentional walks before sending the first pitch he saw over the wall in right. The six-time NL MVP has 174 walks this year, 92 intentional.

Wayne Franklin (2-0) gave the Giants an impressive spot start, pitching six strong innings and getting his first career two-RBI game. After Tony Batista’s RBI single in the first, Franklin retired 12 of the next 13 Expos batters, including eight in a row in one stretch.

The left-hander, activated from the disabled list after the Giants’ 6-2 loss in the first game, allowed one run on three hits, struck out four and walked one in his first start this year. Franklin was winless in his last five starts for the Brewers in 2003. This was his first win as a starter since last Aug. 27 at Cincinnati.

He drove in a run when he walked with the bases loaded in San Francisco’s six-run third against T.J. Tucker (3-2), and later scored. He added a sacrifice fly in the fourth.

Marquis Grissom drove in three runs and had three hits as San Francisco maintained a narrow lead in the NL wild-card race.

Deivi Cruz added a two-run single and J.T. Snow had four hits on the day to extend his career-high hitting streak to 13 games.

The Giants had their six-game winning streak snapped in the opener.

Bonds’ pinch-hit popup in the eighth turned into a bizarre double play because of Mohr’s blunder on the bases. The Giants trailed 3-2 when Mohr and Cruz singled. That brought up Bonds, the NL’s leading hitter, causing the crowd to go crazy.

But Bonds, who didn’t start the first game after homering twice Tuesday night, could not deliver with one out. He hit a foul pop that Tony Batista caught, and the Montreal third baseman wound up with a double play when Mohr lost track of the outs, wandered off second base and was easily thrown out.

“We’ve had a few baserunning mistakes the last few games,” manager Felipe Alou said.

Jose Vidro homered and drove in three runs in the opener and converted reliever Rocky Biddle (4-6) earned the victory as a starter. Vidro’s two-run homer was his 13th of the season and 100th of his career. He got the ball after a fan threw it back on the field.

The Expos held a players-only meeting before the game, apparently to discuss why they didn’t get to bat last as the home team in one of the games. The doubleheader was caused because of a rainout in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on May 23, costing the Expos a home game.

Snow had three hits in the first game, including an RBI triple.

Brad Hennessey (1-2), making third major league start, allowed three earned runs on six hits in six innings. He was optioned to Triple-A Fresno after the game when the Giants activated Franklin.

Notes: It was the Expos’ second doubleheader this year. They swept the Royals in Kansas City on June 10. The Giants played a traditional doubleheader for the first time since sweeping Chicago on Aug. 25, 1999, at Wrigley Field. … Franklin had been sidelined since July 29 with a lower back strain. He was the Giants’ 10th starting pitcher this year. … Beltran got his first major league hit in the second game. … Snow surpassed the 12-game hitting streak he also accomplished in 1997. … Both clubs have off days Thursday.
