The St. Thibaut Courtois Jersey . Louis Cardinals evened the National League Championship Series at a game apiece with a win on Sunday. Now, as the series shifts to San Francisco for Game 3, theyll to get by without their team leader. Catcher Yadier Molina left Sunday nights game in the sixth inning after he hit into a double play. He never made it out of the batters box and was doubled over in pain before gingerly walking to the dugout. Molina is listed as day-to-day and will remain on the teams roster but AJ Pierzynski will start in his place in Game 3. Had the Cardinals opted to remove him, Molina would have been ineligible for the World Series should the Cardinals get there. Thats a tough rule with having to lose him not just the rest of this (series), but if we were fortunate enough to move on, we wouldnt have him, as well, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. Right now its just looking at what he could bring to the table and he could bring the ability to come into a game and help us out defensively, and hopefully improve to the point where we could use him offensively, as well. We dont know. Its just to make a knee jerk reaction right now, I dont think is the best decision for our club. Molina actually hinted that he could be ready to go behind the plate on Tuesday. I woke up moving a little better, Molina said. I feel good enough to catch. Pierzynski caught Game 3 starter John Lackey 18 times this season while both were in Boston and twice more since theyve been in St. Louis. I do a lot of my own work as far as video and that sort of thing, but when you lose a guy of (Molinas) caliber, theres always going to be a hole for sure, Lackey said. Hes probably the best in the game back there and a pleasure to throw to. Weve still got to get out there and compete and give it a run. Lackey was acquired from the Boston Red Sox at the non-waiver trade deadline and struggled a bit, going 3-3 with a 4.30 ERA in 10 starts. After dealing with a tired arm, Lackey did end the year strong, allowing just three earned runs over his final two starts, spanning 14 1/3 innings. He was also terrific in his NLDS start, as he held the Los Angeles Dodgers to a run and five hits over seven innings. St. Louis got itself back into this series on Sunday, as it continued to follow an unfamiliar script, as Kolten Wongs walkoff home run, the Cardinals fourth home run of the night, was the difference in the 5-4 win. To hit a home run at this stage, especially a walk-off home run, it was definitely my top home run Ive hit ever, Wong said. No NL team hit less home runs than the Cardinals 105 during the season, but they have smacked a league-best 11 this postseason with 17 of their 23 runs scored in the playoffs coming via the longball. You know, throughout the season, people were worried about our power, first baseman Matt Adams said. But we knew inside the clubhouse that we didnt lose any power. We just have to go up there and have good at-bats, and we know the home runs will come. A lot of their damage has come late, as from the seventh inning on this postseason, the Cardinals are hitting .394 with seven home runs. Carpenter continued his amazing postseason on Sunday with his fourth home run of the playoffs. He has now hit half as many homers in six playoff games (24 at-bats) as he did in the 162-game regular season (595 at-bats). Heading to the hill for the Giants on Tuesday will be righty Tim Hudson, who will be making his first-ever LCS start. After struggling for most of the second half, Hudson turned in a solid effort in his NLDS start against the Washington Nationals, as he allowed a run and seven hits in 7 1/3 innings. The outing was a sharp contrast to how he ended the year, throwing to an 8.64 ERA over his final four starts. Its exciting, Hudson said. Obviously, its the first time Ive been here in the NLCS. So, yeah, Im thrilled for the opportunity to come out here and give us a good chance to win. I feel good, where I am physically, and coming off a confidence -building start against the Nationals was something that I was really looking for. The Giants took four of their seven meetings during the season with the Cardinals, outscoring them, 30-20. The teams, though, havent played since July 3. San Francisco has played the Cardinals three other times in the playoffs. St. Louis edged the Giants in a thrilling seven-game series in 1987, but San Francisco has beaten the Cards both in 2002 and 2012.

The United States clinched the final berth into the Ford Worlds, March 28-April 6 at Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, on Saturday in Blaine, Minn.DENVER -- Anze Kopitars first goal helped the Los Angeles Kings get back in the game. His second stood up for the winner. Kopitar had two goals and an assist, knocking in the decisive score in the final period, and the Kings rallied to beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-4 on Wednesday night. "Those two quick (goals) at the end of the second were huge and we carried that momentum into the third," Kopitar said. "Its nice to start off the third with a power play." The Kings had the man advantage when Jeff Carter, in the middle of a scramble in front of the net, swung at a loose puck, sending it straight up in the air. When the puck hit the ice, Kopitar got his stick on it and sent it into the net past Jean-Sebastian Giguere at 3:13 of the third. Justin Williams added an empty-net goal with 11 seconds left to cap the scoring as both teams returned to action after the Olympic break. "At the end of the day, we got the two points. It wasnt the easiest two points, but well take it," Kopitar said. Avalanche coach Patrick Roy said for the most part, he liked the way his squad competed in the first game back off the break, despite blowing a two-goal lead. "No one is perfect after two weeks off," Roy said. "But weve been working hard and you dont want to let a game like this affect you, especially because I think there are a lot of positives. I think we need to come back on Friday (against Phoenix) with the same attitude that we had today." Jamie McGinn snapped a 2-2 tie when he scored on the power play at 8:57 of the second period off a centring pass from Ryan OReilly, who scored the Avalanches first goal earlier. It was McGinns 15th goal of the season. Colorado went up 4-2 later in the second on Andre Benoits third goal of the season. He knocked in a rebound on the power play, CColorados third score with the man advantage. Mousa Dembele Jersey. Nathan MacKinnon helped set up the score with a shot that was stopped by Martin Jones, but the puck trickled out and Benoit punched it with his stick into the net. The Kings re-tied it at 4 with a pair of goals little more than two minutes apart. Kopitar back-handed a shot into the net at 16:49 and Carter put in an equalizer at 18:53 of the second, redirecting Mike Richards shot past Giguere. "Great play by Kopi, just stick it out there," Kings defenceman Matt Greene said. "When you get down by two, youve got to answer, and we got that pretty quickly." Los Angeles opened the scoring on Robyn Regehers first-period goal and pulled even at 2-all when Jarret Stoll knocked the puck past Giguere 24 seconds into the second period. P.A. Parenteau gave the Avs a short-lived 2-1 lead at 16:32 of the first. Matt Duchene sent a pass across the slot and Parenteau slapped it into the right corner of the net before Kings goalie Martin Jones could slide over to block it.
