The Boston Red Sox are returning home with a chance to win the Major League Baseball World Series after defeating the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 in game five Monday night.

The victory puts the Red Sox ahead three games to two in the best-of-seven championship series.

The game was tied 1-1 through six innings, continuing a trend of tight early battles between the two teams. The Red Sox broke the game open in the seventh inning, scoring a run on a double by catcher David Ross and another on a single by outfielder Jacoby Ell*****ury.

That was all the offense the team would need as Boston pitchers Jon Lester and Koji Uehara combined to give up just one St. Louis hit the rest of the game to seal the win.

The Cardinals are sending rookie star pitcher Michael Wacha to the mound for Wednesday's game six, hoping to beat Red Sox veteran John Lackey and force a game seven in Boston on Thursday.

The two pitchers matched up in the second game of the series, which the Cardinals won 4-2.

World Series(ZT)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Series is the annual championship series of North American-based Major League Baseball (MLB), played since 1903 between the American League (AL) and National League (NL) team champions. The winner of the World Series championship is determined through a best-of-seven playoff and the winning team is awarded the Commissioner's Trophy.

As the series is played in October, which is one of the fall (autumn) months in North America, MLB also refers to it as the Fall Classic. The most recent World Series was won by the San Francisco Giants, who defeated the Detroit Tigers in a four-game sweep in 2012. In the AL, the New York Yankees have played in 40 World Series and won 27, the Oakland/Philadelphia Athletics have played in 14 and won 9, and the Boston Red Sox have played in 12 and won 7, including the first World Series. In the NL, the St. Louis Cardinals have appeared in 19 and won 11, the San Francisco/New York Giants have played in 19 World Series and won 7, and the Los Angeles/Brooklyn Dodgers have appeared in 18 and won 6.

世界大賽(ZT)

維基百科，自由的百科全書

世界大賽（World Series）是美國職棒大聯盟每年10月舉行的總冠軍賽，是美國以及加拿大職業棒球最高等級的賽事。由美國聯盟冠軍和國家聯盟冠軍，進行7戰4勝製的總冠軍賽，（除了1903年、1919年、1920年和1921年，當時採用9戰5勝製），獲勝的一方獲得世界大賽獎杯。自1903年起，除了1904年紐約巨人抵製參加和1994年球員罷工外，世界大賽每年舉行。

 

由於世界大賽基本都在10月舉行，因此被許多體育記者稱為“秋季經典賽”（Fall Classic）或是“十月經典賽”（October Classic）。世界大賽這個名字常會被誤解為是一項洲際賽事，實際隻是美國聯盟和國家聯盟冠軍爭奪的一項錦標。但由於大聯盟能夠吸引全世界最好的球員加入，因此最後的冠軍也被許多球迷和記者認為是名副其實的世界冠軍。

 

紐約洋基隊是贏得最多世界大賽的球隊，他們40次進入世界大賽，並贏得其中的27次冠軍。聖路易紅雀是贏得世界大賽第二多的球隊，他們一共獲得11次冠軍。舊金山巨人是參加世界大賽次數最多的國家聯盟球隊，他們19次進入世界大賽，但隻有7次獲得最終的勝利（與波士頓紅襪並列）。至今為止，芝加哥小熊是未獲得世界大賽冠軍跨度最長的球隊，他們上次獲得冠軍是在1908年。
