Weaver got an extra day of rest to avoid pitching on three days rest. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Justin_Verlander" title="Justin Verlander">Justin Verlander</a> pitched a sloppy first inning for Detroit, walking three and tying a World Series record for a single inning by throwing two wild pitches. He avoided allowing any runs, however, thanks to a good play by shortstop <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Guill%C3%A9n" title="Carlos Guillén">Carlos Guillén</a> to get the third out on what was almost an infield hit. </p><p>The Cardinals took the lead in the second inning on a lead-off single by <a href="/wiki/Yadier_Molina" title="Yadier Molina">Yadier Molina</a> followed by two advancing groundouts, and then an infield single by <a href="/wiki/David_Eckstein" title="David Eckstein">David Eckstein</a>. Detroit third baseman <a href="/wiki/Brandon_Inge" title="Brandon Inge">Brandon Inge</a> made a good play to stop the ball off Eckstein's bat, but then made a poor throw to first which got by first baseman <a href="/wiki/Sean_Casey_(baseball)" title="Sean Casey (baseball)">Sean Casey</a> and allowed Eckstein to advance to second. The throwing error was the seventh error of the series by the Tigers, also giving them at least one error in every game to that point. </p><p>Cardinals pitcher <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Weaver" title="Jeff Weaver">Jeff Weaver</a> (an ex-Tiger) was cruising into the fourth inning, and he appeared to be nowhere near trouble with a lead-off groundout by Guillen, followed by a routine popup by <a href="/wiki/Magglio_Ord%C3%B3%C3%B1ez" title="Magglio Ordóñez">Magglio Ordóñez</a>. This popup turned out to be much more troublesome than it first appeared: right fielder <a href="/wiki/Chris_Duncan" title="Chris Duncan">Chris Duncan</a> dropped the ball, apparently distracted by center fielder Jim Edmonds who was also going after the ball. With Ordóñez on via the error, the very next pitch of the game was hit by the hot-hitting <a href="/wiki/Sean_Casey_(baseball)" title="Sean Casey (baseball)">Sean Casey</a> into the right-field seats just inside the foul pole for a two-run homer that gave Detroit the lead, 2–1. The Cardinals would threaten immediately in the bottom of the inning, however, with Yadier Molina and <a href="/wiki/So_Taguchi" title="So Taguchi">So Taguchi</a> each singling to put runners at first and second with one out. Pitcher Jeff Weaver then came up and attempted to bunt the runners over to second and third. The bunt was fielded cleanly by the pitcher Justin Verlander, but he attempted to force out Molina at third. The throw missed third baseman <a href="/wiki/Brandon_Inge" title="Brandon Inge">Brandon Inge</a> and the ball went into the left-field foul area. This allowed Molina to score to tie it up, with Taguchi and Weaver arriving safely at third and second. Later, Verlander said "I picked it up and said, Don't throw it away, instead of just throwing it. I got tentative." The throwing error by Verlander was the fifth error by Detroit pitchers in the World Series, having committed one per game, setting a new World Series record. (A placard held by a Cardinals fan in the stands read "HIT IT TO THE PITCHER").<sup id="cite_ref-SI_14-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-SI-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The next batter, David Eckstein, grounded out to score the runner from third, and St. Louis secured their lead, 3–2. Verlander kept Weaver from scoring by retiring <a href="/wiki/Chris_Duncan" title="Chris Duncan">Chris Duncan</a>, but the damage was already done. </p><p>Chris Duncan misplayed another ball in the top of the sixth for a Sean Casey two-out double, but this time Casey would be stranded as Iván Rodríguez then struck out to end the inning. A David Eckstein single followed by a Preston Wilson walk in the bottom of the seventh put runners at first and second with none out for the heart of the Cardinals order: Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen. Pujols popped out and Edmonds flied out, so it appeared Detroit might hold the Cardinals to a one-run lead. Instead, Scott Rolen singled and scored Eckstein, doubling the Cardinals lead to 4–2. Fernando Rodney, who gave up the single to Rolen and was charged with the run, managed to retire <a href="/wiki/Ronnie_Belliard" title="Ronnie Belliard">Ronnie Belliard</a> to end the inning. </p><p>Jeff Weaver retired the side in order, and the Cardinals went to the ninth, three outs away from their first World Series title in 24 years. The man called on to get those three outs would be <a href="/wiki/Adam_Wainwright" title="Adam Wainwright">Adam Wainwright</a>, who had won the job of closer after the star free agent brought to St. Louis in 2002, <a href="/wiki/Jason_Isringhausen" title="Jason Isringhausen">Jason Isringhausen</a>, had season-ending surgery. Detroit's clean-up hitter, <a href="/wiki/Magglio_Ord%C3%B3%C3%B1ez" title="Magglio Ordóñez">Magglio Ordóñez</a>, led off the inning. He proceeded to work a full count but then grounded out. The second batter, Sean Casey, worked a full count and then doubled to bring the tying run to the plate. The third batter, <a href="/wiki/Iv%C3%A1n_Rodr%C3%ADguez" title="Iván Rodríguez">Iván Rodríguez</a>, got ahead in the count 2–0 but grounded back to Wainwright on the next pitch, putting the Cardinals one out away. The fourth batter, <a href="/wiki/Pl%C3%A1cido_Polanco" title="Plácido Polanco">Plácido Polanco</a> (who was hitless during the entire series), fell behind 1–2, but then worked a walk to put the tying run on. The fifth batter, <a href="/wiki/Brandon_Inge" title="Brandon Inge">Brandon Inge</a>, fell behind 0–2, again putting the Cardinals one strike from a World Series championship. He did not extend the drama any longer, as he swung and missed at the next pitch (making it the first World Series to end on a strikeout since the <a href="/wiki/1988_World_Series" title="1988 World Series">1988 World Series</a>), giving the World Series title to the Cardinals.
