inning victory

Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday will miss Game 7 of the World Series.

Rookie Adron Chambers will replace Holliday on the active roster Friday, a day after Holliday injured his right hand during the Cardinals' 10-9, 11-inning victory over Texas in Game 6.

The team says Holliday has a sprained right wrist.

After one of the greatest games in baseball history, a 10-9, 11-inning victory over Texas in Game 6 in which the Cardinals were twice within one strike of elimination, it was too soon for La Russa to announce his Game 7 starter.

How's this for clutch? Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols is 7 for 9 with 24 RBIs with the bases loaded this year.

He inflicted more damage to the Mets in St. Louis' 12-7, 10-inning victory.
