The Cardinals responded in the home portion to halve their deficit. Schumaker singled with one out and Berkman doubled off the wall in right-center. Schumaker eventually came around to score when Victorino slipped and fell while attempting to deliver his relay throw.In the fourth, Berkman worked a leadoff walk and Holliday was plunked on the elbow. Pence initially misjudged -- then caught -- a Yadier Molina liner which left runners on the corners, but Freese's double down the left-field line plated both for a 3-2 St. Louis edge.
Utley's leadoff walk in the sixth went for naught as he was cut down by first baseman Albert Pujols while trying to reach third on a fielder's choice by Pence. Howard followed with a fly to center and Victorino grounded out.
