2006 World Series: Game 4

St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock throws out the ceremonial pitch before Game 4 of the World Series between the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals on Oct. 26, 2006 in St. Louis. After a rainout the night before, only the second World Series washout in 20 years, showers were expected again. But the heavy stuff stayed away on a 53-degree night.

Starting pitchers Jeremy Bonderman of the Detroit Tigers, left, and Jeff Suppan of the St. Louis Cardinals deliver pitches in the first inning. Bonderman, made his Series debut only two days shy of his 24th birthday. With NLCS MVP Jeff Suppan on the mound, one sign read: "Cold Night. Hot Supp."

The Tigers' Brandon Inge makes the throw to first on a single by the Cardinals' David Eckstein during the first inning. The 5-foot-7 Eckstein hit three doubles and a single.

Sean Casey of the Tigers celebrates with Ivan Rodriguez after Casey hit a solo home run in the top of the second inning against Jeff Suppan. It also was the first homer off Suppan this postseason. The Tigers led 1-0.

Curtis Granderson of the Tigers scores in the third inning as Yadier Molina of the Cardinals looks on. Granderson doubled to start the third, his first hit in 15 World Series at-bats, and scored on Casey's two-out single. Rodriguez followed with an RBI single, making it 3-0.

Tigers second baseman Placido Polanco waits for the throw as the Cardinals' Scott Rolen slides into second with a double in the fourth inning. With two outs, Molina hit an RBI double past a diving Inge at third, scoring Rolen and cutting the lead to 3-2. Rolen has a nine-game hitting streak in the postseason.

Curtis Granderson of the Tigers chases down a double hit by David Eckstein of the Cardinals as Cardinal fans cheer in the bottom of the seventh inning. Granderson slipped in center while trying for an earlier ball, rekindling memories of Curt Flood in the 1968 Series between these teams.

So Taguchi of the Cardinals rounds first base on a throwing error by Fernando Rodney of the Tigers that got by the leaping Placido Polanco in the bottom of the seventh. Eckstein scored on the play. The Redbirds led 4-3.

Ivan Rodriguez of the Tigers is congratulated by manager Jim Leyland after Rodriguez scored on a Placido Polanco ground out to tie the game 4-4 in the eighth inning against the Cardinals.

Tigers outfielder Craig Monroe dives for a double hit by David Eckstein during the eighth inning. Eckstein was the 57th player to get four or more hits in a Series game and the first since Larry Walker of the Cardinals in Game 1 in 2004.

The Cardinals' David Eckstein rounds first base with an eighth-inning double to drive in Aaron Miles. Eckstein's RBI gave the Cardinals a 5-4 lead.

The Cardinals celebrate after their 5-4 win against the Tigers during Game 4 of the 2006 World Series on Oct. 26, 2006 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri. The Cardinals have a 3-1 lead in the series.
