Cardinals 1, Red Sox 8. A plethora of defensive errors from the Cardinals helped the Red Sox jump ahead early. Adam Wainwright still ate some innings, though the nod went to Jon Lester. Boston took a 1-0 lead in the series. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

Cardinals 4, Red Sox 2. More satisfying than the Game One boat race, the Cardinals and Red Sox swapped scores, with the Cardinals scoring three runs in the seventh inning. Michael Wacha showed some vulnerability for once, but not enough for Boston to prevent a tied series. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)

Red Sox 4, Cardinals 5. A crazy ending to an exciting game. Both teams traded blows late in the game, with the Cardinals usually good bullpen yielding the tying run. Ultimately it was an obstruction call at third base that plated the winning run and gave St. Louis a 2-1 series edge. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

Red Sox 4, Cardinals 2. Jonny Gomes' three-run home run was the big offensive highlight. Credit should go to the Red Sox bullpen, which allowed one run over five innings, too. The game ended with Kolten Wong getting picked off first base, which tied the series at two. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
