After the 7:16-swatter in Game 3 of the 2011 World Series was questionable how well would recover the Texas Rangers. However, in Game 4, they gave the right answer and adjusted thanks to a two-hitter, shutouts by Derek Holland to 2-2 in the series out. When the Rangers 4-0 on Sunday, 23 October 2011, the St. Louis Cardinals could not build on the approximate performance of the third game.
Derek Holland dominated the offense the Cardinals in Game 4
In Game 4, there was a duel between Edwin Jackson and Derek Holland. The latter pointed to the postseason in 2011 for an ERA of 5.27 and an opponent batting average of .316 to. But the young left-handers, which were managed in the regular season at least four shutout victories, was by far his best postseason performance and slowed the offensive of the guests who had scored 16 runs in Game 3 yet, completely. The Rangers went in the first inning lead. The crucial RBI double scored with Josh Hamilton another problem child of the householder. His hit Elvis Andrus brought by the first base from home for 1-0. In the second inning Lance Berkman hit a double against Holland. It was the first hit of the "Redbirds" and the only extra base hit in the fourth game cards Even in the fifth inning succeeded Berkman a hit. All other batter were unsuccessful experience. Even Albert Pujols in Game 3 to get five hits and three home runs, remained without a hit. Just as David Freese, whose Postseason Hitting Streak ended after 13 games.
Mike Napoli homer in the sixth inning of game brings the four decision
Edwin Jackson had also caught a bad day. At the beginning of the sixth innings, but he did against David Murphy and Nelson Cruz, his sixth and seventh Walk. Manager Tony La Russa responded with Jackson's replacement and then brought reliever Mitchell Boggs. That proved a wrong decision, because Mike Napoli managed to Boggs a long built the home run ball, the leadership at 4-0. That was the decision. More support needed Holland does not run, who pitched into the ninth inning to. Only when he made an out at a walk to Rafael Furcal, manager Ron Washington brought Neftali Feliz Closer to the game, the first fired a Walk Against Allen Craig, but then took care of the second and third out against Pujols and Matt Holliday. Over 51,000 people celebrated the 4-0 victory and the 2-2-compensation in the World Series in 2011 and hailed the great power of Holland (8 1 / 3 IP, 2 H, 2 BB, 7 K), the youngest left-handed The World Series history, a two-hitter, shutout succeeded. In general, he was the first pitcher Andy Pettitte of the American League since 1996, managed a shutout until the ninth inning. Edwin Jackson (5 1 / 3 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 7 BB) conceded defeat.
Game 5 is the last home game of the Rangers and perhaps the key play of this year's World Series. Whoever wins the next game, is just one step away from winning the title. One advantage of the Rangers in Game 5 is in addition to the home advantage perhaps the fact that the battered bullpen in Game 3 of the owners is fully rested. Speaks for the Cardinals, Chris Carpenter will accrue as a starter that has played a good postseason - which you can not claim from his opposite CJ Wilson. Either way, the 2011 World Series at Busch Stadium will be completed in St. Louis. This is a statistical advantage for the Cardinals: 21 of the 34 World Series encounters in which it was 2-2, were won by the team that could host the last two home games.
