It was an important day for the Baltimore Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals. Both teams dug themselves into a deep hole when they lost game 1 of their respective series's. With a loss meaning they would have to win 3 straight in enemy territory, both the Orioles and Cardinals knew what was at stake when they took the field Monday. They responded to the pressure masterfully, as the Cardinals woke up to crush the Nationals 12-4, and the Orioles, led by inexperienced pitcher Wei-Yin Chen held on to beat the Yankees 3-2. The Cardinals had a huge 2nd inning, where they put up a crooked number of 4 on the board, to take a early 4 to 1 lead. They would not look back for the rest of the day, and scored 4 more in the 8th to put a dagger in the National's chances of a comeback. Meanwhile, the Orioles didn't have as much breathing room, as they were involved in a nail biter all the way through; but they did what they have done all season long, and won another close game. In what may have seemed like an easy series for the Nationals and Yankees 24 hours ago, might now just be starting.Game 3: Yankees vs. Orioles. Wed October 10th, 7:37 PM ET.
