The Rangers tie the World Series at one game apiece with a 9th-inning comeback over the Cardinals, giving them a 2 – 1 win. It’s a scoreless game for 6 1/2 innings, as Colby Lewis and Jaime Garcia duel, until pinch-hitter Allen Craig drives in a run for the second straight game in the 7th. It stays that way until the 9th, when the Rangers use a pair of singles, a stolen base and a pair of sacrifice flies to stage a two-run rally against closer Jason Motte.
