The weather finally held up enough to get World Series Game 4 in Saint Louis.
The Tigers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead through three. The Cardinals countered with a run each in the bottom of the third in the fourth.
Bonderman had a tough start but was able to through 5.1 innings before an injury. Suppan pitched six solid innings but not as great as hit did last Thursday against the Mets. Figures.
The Cardinals tied the game in the 8th. Preston "Mookie's Not Your Father" Wilson singles to left and Taguchi scores. Pujols is tagged out at third by Inge.
The Tigers tied the game at 4 in the 8th.
The injured SS Eckstein doubles (again for the third time) to left for his fourth hit of the game and second RBI. The Cardinals lead 5-4 at the end of the 8th.
Wainwright holds the 5-4 lead and the Cardinals win and now lead the series 3 Games to 1. I am certain Medford Bob and Shawn on 29 are happy as the Cardinals are one win away from their tenth World Series title. Will the Cardinals be able to get revenge for the 1968 loss to the Tigers? We may find out Friday night, weather permitting.
