Chris Carpenter was terrific in Game of the World Series Wednesday, holding the Rangers to two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in the 3-2 win. He struck out four, with his only big mistake of the night coming when he left a ball up to Mike Napoli, who crushed it into the right-field seats for a two-run homer. Carp had no issues with the elbow, as he really started to settle in as the game went along and could have gone deeper had the Cards not had a scoring opportunity in the sixth. He now holds a 3.52 ERA in four playoff starts, and he broke a tie with Bob Gibson by picking up his eighth career postseason win with St. Louis. Carp will likely start Game 5 in Texas.
