Cardinals Tie Series

The Cardinals came into Game 2 of the 2013 World Series having been obliterated to night before 8-1. But, star rookie Michael Wacha was on the mound. Wacha was amazing in the NLCS and won MVP honors. He was the Cardinals' best hope to get back on track. The game started well enough for the Cardinals, with a run in the fourth inning. But in the sixth inning, the Red Sox struck back with a two run homerun by David Ortiz. After that inning, with the score 2-1, Wacha left the game.

In the seventh inning the game was decided. Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that scored two, after an error Daniel Descalso moved to third. This was important because on the next at-bat, Carlos Beltran hit a single to score Descalso. This was the last scoring play of the game as it ended 4-2. Trevor Rosenthal got the save and Wacha got the win to even the series at 1-1.
