Prior to tonight, here's what Rangers long reliever Scott Feldman had done in the playoffs:
World Series Game 3: Cardinals Score Big Insurance In Fifth

Good, right? Five scoreless appearances, with five total baserunners allowed. That’s straight up Rivera-ian, except Feldman was handling a couple innings at a time.
Well Feldman's numbers ain't so pretty so more. Feldman took over for starter Matt Harrison with two outs in the top of the fourth. At that point, it was 5-0 Cardinals. Feldman returned to the mound in the top of the fifth, with the score 5-3 Cardinals. The Rangers badly wanted Feldman to come through with a shutdown inning.

Whoops! The Cardinals got back the three runs the Rangers had just scored, with Yadier Molina delivering the big blow with a two-run line drive double to left that just stayed fair. That boosted the St. Louis lead to 8-3.
No further damage was done, but while Rangers Ballpark is a hitter’s ballpark, that was a demoralizing frame for the hosts.
