When Álex Rodríguez and Dick Allen hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the 1st, Wizards fans feared the worst. But Steve Carlton allowed just 4 more hits and struck out 10 in 8 innings of work. Meanwhile, Mike Piazza hit 2 homers and drove in 5 runs for St. Louis against Detroit’s Frank Tanana. Tanana was pulled after the 2nd Piazza homer in the 6th. In the end, the St. Louis Wizards topped the Detroit Rockets 7-3 to cut their series lead to 2-1. Chipper Jones was 2 for 4 with a homer, driving in the other 2 St. Louis runs. The home team is still looking for a win this Series. The teams face off tomorrow at 7pm in Detroit with a repeat of Game 1 starters, Carl Hubbell and Roger Clemens.
