Pujols and Edmonds each pick up their second hit of the game in the fifth inning. A leadoff single by Carpenter leads to another run and a 4-0 lead for the Cardinals halfway through the game. Peavy still doesn't have a strikeout since the first.

Update: Carpenter helps himself with a 10 pitch inning in the bottom of the fifth. It's still 4-0 Red Birds.

Update: Encarnacion leads off the sixth with a single, but Piazza throws him out stealing. The post season just brings out the best in players. Belliard singles off Peavy's leg, and he's successful stealing. It's the fourth straight inning the Cards put on the leadoff hitter with a single.

Update: Molina drives in Belliard with the Cardinals 11th hit. That's it for Peavy who leaves with his team in a 5-0 hole. No rib problems this year, the Cardinals just got the best of him.
