Notes:  Tito Landrum and McGee each hit bases-empty home runs to back Tudor's second consecutive brilliant outing to give the Cards a 3-1 advantage in the Series.  In addition to the home runs, KC starter Bud Black was victimized by a squeeze play on a full-count to Tom Nieto, who laid the bunt down scoring Pendleton, who had tripled.  Tudor, meanwhile, tossed only 106 pitches.  Joe Beckwith replaces Bud Black in the 6th, and Dan Quisenberry comes in as the closer in the 8th.

 

Thanks Richard!
