This marked the first time in either major league that two teams from the Central Division met in a Championship Series.

The Astros even the series with the Cardinals at two games apiece with a 6-5 win. Carlos Beltrán supplies the winning margin with a solo home run in the seventh inning. Beltrán ties records for the most home runs in a single postseason (eight) and most consecutive postseason games with a home run (five).
