Cardinals Win in 14
Benefiting from Brian S Giles's productive game, the St. Louis Cardinals downed the Cincinnati Reds, 6-5. Giles hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Cardinals. The Reds fall to 4-4 and continue their uneasy start to the 1998 season.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 14th inning, when St. Louis third baseman Placido Polanco, facing Jeff Suppan, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Cardinals the 6-5 win.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Cincinnati manager John Frey.
