Multi-HR Game for Giles in 16-4 Win
Spirited fans at Comiskey Park greeted the Charlotte Knights for their clash with the St. Louis Cardinals.

The St. Louis Cardinals stopped the Charlotte Knights, 16-4, at Comiskey Park. The Cardinals got a big game from Brian S Giles, who belted 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice. St. Louis is 5th in the Federal League Central Division with a record of 37-43.

Giles put St. Louis up, 13-4, when he hit a grand slam home run off Jose J. Bautista in the top of the sixth. His 12th home run of the season helped the Cardinals capture the win.

Giles said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
