Where ? Busch Stadium
Pitchers: vs Greinke vs Garcia
Holliday is 5 for 13 with three RBIs in this series. “I think it’s classic,” Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. “It comes down to that day, who makes the pitch.” He allowed two runs in seven innings of a 2-0 loss at St. Louis on Sept. 7. After dropping the last two games, Milwaukee evened the best-of-seven series by snapping an eight-game road playoff skid with a 4-2 win in Game 4 on Thursday to guarantee the NLCS will return to Miller Park. The Brewers’ previous postseason road victory also came in St. Louis in Game 1 of the 1982 World Series. Overall, Greinke is 12-0 with a 3.65 ERA in 17 starts at home this season, but 5-6 with a 4.70 ERA away from Miller Park. Before Milwaukee can focus on returning home, it will try to win consecutive postseason road games for the first time since taking Games 3 and 4 at Yankee Stadium of the AL divisional series during the strike-shortened 1981 season. Scheduled Brewers starter (1-0, 8.18) was tagged for six runs in six innings in Game 1 but still earned the victory over Garcia. The right-hander yielded four runs on three homers in five innings of a 9-4 win over Arizona in Game 2 of the division series. “The first two games I’ve given up some runs but I’ve been really happy with how I’ve pitched,” said Greinke, who makes his first postseason road start Friday. “I’m just going to do what I can do.” Highlights, live score and results will be available soon.. stay tuned.
