I was just looking for a ball to get a good swing at. I wasn't trying to go deep. I was trying to hit the ball hard. Thank God for that. We get to play tomorrow. Louis bullpen that allowed Edmonds to hit the game-winner. Ray King, Kiko Calero, Isringhausen and Julian Tavarez all played central roles in the drama, allowing one run combined. Tavarez twirled the final two innings to be credited with the win, hours after Major League Baseball announced that he had been fined for his actions in Game 4 of the series.
Tavarez nearly hit Jeff Bagwell with a pitch in that game, soon after he served up Carlos Beltran's game-winning homer. We walked away with a win. We were looking for this. If we lose today, we've got no tomorrow. He walked three batters and often found himself behind in counts, but prevented the big inning that would have been costly.
He gave way to a bullpen that struggled at Minute Maid Park but found its way again -- for the most part -- back at home. Pujols, meanwhile, did it all with the bat. His two-run homer off starter Pete Munro turned a deficit into a first-inning lead. He doubled off the wall and scored in the third, but was thrown out trying to score from first on a double one inning later. And his walk to open the 12th set up Edmonds. There's no hero. Louis bullpen, the bottom of the Redbirds' batting order also found itself revived after a difficult trip to South Texas.
Edgar Renteria snapped a 1-for-the-series funk with three hits, including a critical two-run single, and Reggie Sanders smacked two doubles. But the biggest difference between the homestanding Redbirds of the Division Series and LCS and the team that played in Houston was simple: the NL's best regular-season bullpen got its mojo back.
Two of the best offenses in the game were playing in the NLCS but still in postseason play high-scoring games are not the norm. The Astros got into Suppan immediately with Craig Biggio hitting a homer to open the game. Game 7 NLCS. Dont forget to subscribe. The Cards went in order in the first. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Louis that mismatched the legendary Roger Clemens against the lowly but reliable Jeff Suppan. Game 7 delivered a rating across Fox. The Braves held a Louis Cardinals faced off in a decisive Game 7.
Louis Cardinals 5 F -- Scott Rolen blasted a two-run homer in the sixth inning to provide the go-ahead runs and Jeff Suppan threw si. Houston coach John Tamargo had a mic on for.
