Garrelts Defeats Expos For #200
Tuesday, June 2nd, 1998
History was made today at Olympic Stadium -- Scott Garrelts won game #200 to seal his name in the league record books. The Toronto ace downed the Montreal Expos 4-3 to gain entrance into the elite 200 Club.
"I was wound up at first. I think I threw too hard," remarked Garrelts, "I had to calm down and go out there and pitch... not just throw. I think I got better as the game wore on. I started to think less about 200 wins and more about doing what I had to do."
In his career Garrelts has a 200-138 won-lost record with a 3.66 ERA.

Red-Hot Giles Scorches Twins
Monday, June 1st, 1998
At Metrodome today, Brian S Giles of the St. Louis Cardinals put on a hitting clinic. He banged out 5 hits in 7 at-bats and mauled the Minnesota Twins pitching staff, but St. Louis still came up short on the scoreboard.
The Cardinals went home with the 7-6 loss, in spite of a standout 5-hit performance from their right fielder.
"Hey, it's great to get that many hits in a game, but it would have been nice to win the game, too," Giles said in the postgame interview.
Brian S Giles singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, doubled in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off John Rocker in the 7th, struck out in the 10th, doubled in the 12th and doubled in the 14th.
This season Giles has hit at a .299 clip with 39 RBIs, 18 home runs and 37 runs scored. He has played in 57 games.
