C.J. Wilson allowed two runs on four hits and walked five over 5 1/3 innings in the Rangers 4-2 win over the Cardinals in Game 5 of the World Series.
Wilson's fastball was noticeably flat and the Cardinals took advantage of it early, scoring all of their runs in the second inning. Darren Oliver gets the win in relief, and Neftali Feliz finished for his sixth save of the playoffs, striking out Albert Pujols as part of a double play when Allen Craig was caught stealing second. The no-decision allowed Wilson to avoid being the first pitcher to lose four times in a single postseason. It's not unreasonable to think his playoff woes could impact his value on the open market this winter.
