His round-tripper off the Giants’ John Burkett raised Bonilla’s average at Shea to .136 (11-for-81). It did not get much better from there. Mike Piazza, acquired in a blockbuster trade in May 1998, homered in his third game at Shea Stadium June 8, 1998, when Rick Reed carried a perfect game into the seventh inning against the…
