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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=world-series-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">St. Louis @ Detroit &#8211; 6\/6\/22 (Detroit leads the Series 2-1)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When \u00c1lex Rodr\u00edguez and Dick Allen hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the 1st, Wizards fans feared the worst.
