St. Louis, MO – The St. Louis Cardinals, improbably, are World Series champions.
Chris Carpenter worked through six-plus effective innings on short rest and the Cardinals' bullpen once again shut down the Texas Rangers to take Game 7 of the Fall Classic, 6-2.
David Freese, the cog in St. Louis' resolute offense throughout the playoffs, knocked in a pair of runs, Yadier Molina went 2-for-3 with two RBI and Allen Craig homered and stole one away from Nelson Cruz to put the finishing touches on an incredible two months from Tony La Russa's bunch.
