World Series Game 7: Allen Craig Unties Game With Solo Shot, Gives Cardinals 3-2 Lead

Three pitches into Game 7 of the 2011 World Series, the Cardinals and Rangers were tied 2-2. At least, that's what it felt like. I wasn't really watching. ESPN2 has the Pan-American Games on, and I have picture-in-picture working, so forgive me if these updates seem scattered.

After that early hiccup from both starters, though, both pitchers settled down. Like, really settled down. Carpenter allowed a walk in the second inning, and he hit Adrian Beltre with a pitch in the third, but that's all. Matt Harrison ...

The homer was hit by Allen Craig, who is only in the lineup because Matt Holliday has an ouchie.
