----------- THEY ARE SINGING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM--------------
The San Francisco Giants will go into St. Louis and play Game 4 of the NLCS down 1-2 in the series.
The Cardinals defeated the Giants yesterday with heroics from their right fielder replacement Matt Carpenter.
They lost Carlos Beltran after the first inning. Carpenter got took the field in the top of the second and then homered in the third to give the Cardinals the 2-1 lead in the game and they added a run in the bottom of the seventh.
Jason Mott recorded the first two-inning save of his career. He came in the eighth and retired the Giants without a problem. Then in the ninth inning he finished closing the door for the win.
For the Giants' sake, they hope Adam Wainwright can have a similar pitching performance to that from Game 5 against the Washington Nationals.
Wainwright exited in the third inning and had the Cardinals in a 0-6 hole. The Cardinals were able to persevere and return from the deficit.
On the mound for the Giants will be their former ace Tim Lincecum who they hope can be the pitcher of old who won back-to-back Cy Young Awards. He has pitched pretty well in the postseason and even won a game as a reliever against the Cincinnati Reds.
The action begins at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
