1. Who was the starting pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6?

Answer: Jaime Garcia

Jaime was the starter and only went 3 innings and gave up two runs. It was almost forgotten that he started since the game went 11 innings and the final was 10-9!

2. What inning did David Freese commit an error by dropping a Josh Hamilton pop-up?

Answer: 5th

At this point David Freese had gone 0-2 and had 1 error in Game 6. This error led to 2 unearned runs charged to Salas.

3. Eduardo Sanchez started pitching in the fourth inning for the St. Louis Cardinals.

Answer: False

Fernando Salas not Sanchez was the go-to guy all playoff long to come in early in games. Some people thought Tony LaRussa had gone mad, but it shows that there is a method to his madness.

Answer: 3

Ogando, Feliz, and Feldman were the pitchers that were charged with blown saves.

8. Who gave up the two-run game-tying triple to Freese in the ninth?

Answer: Neftali Feliz

Freese got his first hit of the game, and it was one of the biggest hits not only that he has ever had but anyone has ever had.

9. Who was the other player on base when Hamilton hit his homer in the top of the tenth?

Answer: Elvis Andrus

Jason Motte got the first out by making Ian Kinsler pop out. Then Elvis Andrus got a single and followed by Josh Hamilton's two run homer.

10. Who did Freese hit his walk-off home run off of?

Answer: Mark Lowe

It was a great ending to an amazing comeback by the comeback kid David Freese. He quit baseball after high school, but soon realized that he could not stay away from the game he loved. He was traded to the Cardinals with a trade with the Padres while the Padres got Jim Edmonds.
