Game Six World Series
Game Six World SeriesThe Texas Rangers have a 3-2 advantage against the St. Louis Cardinals going into game six, but the Cardinals will be at home.

In Game 6 of the World Series on Wednesday night, Colby Lewis gets the first chance to pitch the Texas Rangers to their first title. No doubt while pitching oh-so-carefully against Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals, he’ll be leaning on past October triumphs.

Jaime Garcia is back home where he’s most comfortable, and the wild-card Cardinals are back in a familiar win-or-go-home mode, heading into a mound rematch from Game 2.

Three of Garcia’s four postseason starts have been at Busch Stadium and the 25-year-old lefty has a 1.93 ERA at home. He outpitched Lewis in the first matchup with seven innings of scoreless, three-hit ball before the bullpen failed in a 2-1 loss.

Garcia was in top form in Game 2 with seven strikeouts and one walk.

Lewis beat the New York Yankees in the clinching Game 6 in the AL championship series last year. He doesn’t mind being on the road, getting nine of his 14 wins with a 3.43 ERA, and has been stingy all postseason with a 2.95 ERA.

Facing Lewis in Game 2, the Cardinals were limited to one run on four hits with one extra-base hit in 6 1-3 innings. Manager Ron Washington expects to see the same pitcher again, and is confident there’ll be zero stage fright.

Garcia had plenty of must-win starts in September, steeling him for the postseason. The Cardinals overtook the faltering Braves on the final day of the season and Garcia was a key contributor, going 3-0 the final month.

He doesn’t plan on changing much from his Game 2 start.

The bigger question in La Russa’s mind is what to expect from the lineup. The Cardinals were 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position in their 4-2 loss in Game 5 loss Monday night at Texas.

La Russa twice declined discussing a potential Game 7 starter, although ace Chris Carpenter volunteered for duty on two days’ rest. Carpenter, who allowed two runs in seven innings in Game 5, played catch Tuesday and said he felt fine.

This could be the end of the World Series, so expect all hands on deck for the St. Louis Cardinals.
