Cardinals Win Game 2 of World Series

St. Louis Cardinals' Daniel Descalso scores past Boston Red Sox catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia (39) on a hit by Carlos Beltran during the seventh inning of Game 2 of baseball's World Series, Oct. 24, 2013,

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the host Boston Red Sox 4-2 late on Thursday to even Major League Baseball's World Series at one win apiece.

Trailing 2-1, the Cardinals scored three runs in the seventh inning to earn 22-year-old rookie pitcher Michael Wacha the victory. Boston's sloppy play on defense in that inning was partially responsible for the St. Louis runs.

The best-of-seven championship series now moves to St. Louis for three games starting Saturday night.
