Giants beat Cardinals 6-1 to force a Game 7 in the NLCS

Much like Barry Zito in Game 5, the Giants got some very clutch pitching from Ryan Vogelsong to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 from AT&T Park forcing a Game 7 Monday night.

Vogelsong went 7 strong innings allowing 1 run on 4 hits with 9 strikeouts earning his second win of the NLCS.

Meanwhile the San Francisco bats teed off on Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter early tagging him for 5 runs (2 earned) in 4 innings of work.

After coming back from a 2-0 hole in the NLDS against Cincinnati the Giants will once again look to complete a comeback here in the NLCS after being down 3-1 to the Cardinals heading into Game 5. Taking the mound for the Cardinals in the decisive Game 7 will be Kyle Lohse while the Giants will go with Matt Cain.
