October 8th, 2009 - NLDS 2, Game 2

The Cardinals were able to even up their series with the Dodgers with a brilliant outing from starter Adam Wainright. Slugger Albert Pujols contributed 3 hits, but it was mostly aggressive baserunning and small ball from skipper Tony LaRussa that carried the day for St. Louis. Cards 3b Mark DeRosa had to leave the game after being hit by a pitch, however, and the Cards will need to substitute for him in their next game.

WEB GEMS- Bot 9th: Ryan Franklin robbed Manny Ramirez of a base hit.
 
Left fielder Matt Holliday had 2 base hits at Dodger Stadium as the St. Louis
Cardinals beat the Los Angeles(NL) Dodgers by the count of 3 to 0.
 
St. Louis took the lead off Clayton Kershaw in the first inning scoring a
single run using 2 hits.  That early scoring was all that Adam
Wainwright(1-0) needed.  Ryan Franklin relieved and was untouched by Los
Angeles(NL) as he recorded the save, his 1st.  
 
Kershaw(0-1) absorbed the loss.  He gave up 5 hits and 5 walks in 7 innings.
