Sunday, April 21st, 2120: Goto Defeats Jazz For #200
Yoshihiro Goto of the Hartford Whalers nailed down his 200th career victory with a 5-0 win over the New Orleans Jazz today at Jazz Park. Goto, 35, fired 7 strikeouts over 8 innings of work. He gave up no runs, 1 walk and allowed 2 hits.

"I feel great," Goto said afterward. "I try not to get caught up in the moment. It's hard with so much press coverage these days, but I tune all that out when I go out there and pitch."

In his career stats, Goto has won 200 and lost 93, collecting 2085 strikeouts and 658 walks in 2506 innings with a 3.01 ERA. Opponents have hit .229 against him.

It was the 11th straight win for the Whalers as they ran their record to 11-3 on the season. The Jazz fell to 6-8.
