St. Louis Cards even World Series

 The St. Louis Cardinals managed to turn things around last in the second game of the 2013 World
Series, stealing a 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park to even the Series at one
game each. Game three action switches to St. Louis and takes place tomorrow at 7:30.
Cardinals rookie right hander Michael Wacha was bailed out by his teammates and was the victor.
He went six innings, allowing two earned runs on just three hits with six strikeouts. Wacha gave
up a two-run homer to David Ortiz in the sixth frame and trailed 2-1 when he was replaced by
Carlos Martinez. Cards' reliever Trevor Rosenthal was lights out striking out the side in the bottom of the ninth, posting the save.  Carlos Beltran delivered two hits and drove in a run for the Cards. Matt Carpenter, who led the Major Leagues with 199 hits during the regular season, drove in a run along with Yadier Molina.
Boston's John Lackey went 6.1 innings and took the loss. He gave up three runs on five hits.
