The Parkway Central graduate will pitch Sunday in hopes of avoiding a San Francisco Giants sweep.
Max Scherzer pitched in the game that got the Detroit Tigers to the World Series, defeating the New York Yankees to end the American League Championship Series. Sunday, he'll pitch to keep his team from getting swept away in the Fall Classic. The San Francisco Giants kept up their postseason push with a 2-0 win Saturday night to take a 3-0 lead in the series. Scherzer, the Parkway Central graduate will face Matt Cain.

The Giants beat the Cardinals 9-0 in Game 7 to end the Redbirds' 2012 season.
There will be no World Series in St. Louis this season. There will be no parade down Market Street, no 12th world championship and no rematch of the 2006 Fall Classic. Monday night in San Francisco the Cardinals hopes of a repeat of 2011 were ended at the hands of the Giants. Just like in 1996, the Cardinals, with a new manager, had a 3-1 lead in the National League Championship series. And, just like in '96, the Cards failed to get win No. 4, losing in Game 7 in a blowout. The Cardinals were done in by a series of miscues and the inability to get a big basehit. But, credit the San Francisco, the Giants had to play perfect to come back and did just that. The loss in California closes the book on an interesting season for the Cardinals…

Get the full schedule on the National League Championship Series and see the results from the first four games.
It all comes down to this. Despite trailing 3-1 in the series, the San Francisco Giants have won two straight forced a Game 7, at home, in the National League Championship series. On Monday night at the St. Louis Cardinals will start Kyle Lohse in yet another win-or-go-home game for the Redbirds. The Giants will counter with Matt Cain. The two met up in Game 3 with Lohse picking up the win. The Cardinals didn't hit Cain hard, but a big two-run home run by Matt Carpenter helped St. Louis win 3-1 and take a 2-1 series lead. If the Cardinals are defeated, it will likely be the last time Lohse, a pending free agent at season's end, wears a St. Louis uniform. The veteran pitcher will likely command a contract the Cardinals are not likely to …
