The Gas House Gang

The Cardinals took the first game in the 2011 World Series behind a solid outing by Chris Carpenter.  He gave up two runs on five hits and a walk with four strikeouts in six inning.  Five relievers then combined to hold the Rangers scoreless after that.  Jason Motte pitched a shutout ninth and he picked up another post season save.

Lance Berkman went two for four with two RBIs.  Rafael Furcal drew two walks and David Freese went one for two with a walk and a run.

Game two is tomorrow. It’ll be Colby Lewis going up against Jaime Garcia.
