Milestone Save, Heb Bates Gets Number 300
"I tried to approach this game like it was just another day, but when I walked out there on the mound, it was different," said Houston star reliever Heb Bates. "I'm supposed to have ice water in my veins, but not today. It felt like my first day on the mound in my rookie season."

It certainly was different. Bates was about to try for his milestone 300-th career save and put his name in the record book.

As he has endless times before, Bates rose to the occasion and disposed of the Baltimore Orioles to save the Astros 8-5 victory, allowing no runs and 1 hit in 1 innings of work.

So far in his career, Bates has registered 300 saves and fashioned a 41-49 won-lost mark. In 678 games he has fanned 895 batters in 821 innings and logged a 2.30 ERA.
