2011 World Series Game 7 -- Cardinals 6, Rangers 2 -- After Game 6, this one was almost anti-climatic especially with the Cardinals best big-game pitcher since Bob Gibson in Chris Carpenter on the mound. (What a lot of people do not remember is Carpenter was only able to pitch this game on a decent amount of rest is because Game 6 had been pushed back a day because of rain. They called the game about 4:30/5 p.m. as I was driving downtown. By 6:30 p.m., the rain had passed and it did not resume the rest of the night). Anyway, Freese had another big hit with a two-run double in the first after Carpenter had allowed a pair of runs in the top of the inning. Allen Craig broke the tie with a homer in the third. Carpenter didn't allow another run after the first while pitching through the seventh and the bullpen did the rest.
