Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Cardinals, 4-2
The St. Louis Cardinals moved to within one game of the World Series today, downing the visiting San Diego Padres at Busch Stadium by a score of 4-2. Cardinals right-hander Mitch Keller had a strong outing in which he threw 6 innings of 3-hit ball. The win gives the Cardinals a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

With two out in the bottom of the third, Yasmani Grandal barreled up a cutter from Wander Suero. The result was a 2-run home run, putting the Cardinals in front, 3-2.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," St. Louis manager Tyler Wagner told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

Game 6 is set to be played Sunday, October 18th, 2020 at Petco Park in San Diego. Slated to start are Erick Fedde for the St. Louis Cardinals and Hyun-jin Ryu for the the San Diego Padres.
