Blues at Landlubbers
Stripling vs Kluber

Kluber didn't disappoint as he was dominant

Kluber - 7 innings, 1 hit, 1 run, 3 walks, 7 K's

The only problem is he turned it over to his bullpen with the scored tied 1-1 as Stripling and a few RP, while not as dominant, were able to limit the Landlubbers offense as well.

Ultimately this came down to the 9th as the Blues got a double by Bregman to RC and then Bregman scored on an error by the RF Polanco (maybe he was winded from the double to RC on the previous AB?) and the Blues win 2-1 and win all three games in Michigan.

With Sale primed to pitch G7 you have to expect a Blues victory at this point, but since the home team haven't won a game yet there is still hope for the Landlubbers.

Point of reference:
The Landlubbers are "batting" a combined .141/.200/.258 through the first 5 games of the WS. Their pitching has been as expected, but if they don't get more offense they aren't going to win...
