Here’s your baseball
briefing for Thursday, October 24, 2013.
Wednesday
Results
Game 1 World Series (best of seven)
| RESULT | WIN | LOSS |
| at Boston 8, St. Louis 1 | Lester (1-0) | Wainwright (0-1) |
St. Louis committed three errors and dug themselves a 5-0
deficit after just two innings, while Boston took advantage with clutch hits
from Mike Napoli and David Ortiz as the Red Sox won easily behind the pitching
of John Lester. Ortiz was also robbed of
a grand slam when Carlos Beltran reached over the right field wall for an
amazing catch, injuring his ribs in the process. He left the game and is questionable for Game
2 tonight.
Boston Leads
Series 1-0
