PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- Albert Pujols singled home the tie-breaking run in the seventh inning Sunday and St. Louis evened its NL division series with a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.
The Cardinals rallied from a 4-0 deficit with three runs in the fourth and another in the sixth on Ryan Theriot's two-out double and Jon Jay's RBI single.
Allen Craig led off the seventh with a drive to deep center field that went off Shane Victorino's glove for a triple and Pujols followed by lining a solid hit to left-center, putting St. Louis ahead to stay.
Octavio Dotel (1-0) earned the win with 1 1/3 scoreless innings and the Cards' bullpen tossed six frames of shutout ball as St. Louis knotted its best-of-five National League Division Series with Philadelphia at 1-1.
The Phillies' Cliff Lee (0-1) was tagged with the loss, surrendering five runs on 12 hits over six frames, falling to 7-3 in the post-season since 2009.
Ryan Howard drove in two runs and Jimmy Rollins went 3-for-4 with two runs scored for the Phillies, who must now travel to St. Louis for Tuesday's Game 3.
