Divisional Series Game 1 Victory for Fernandez and St. Louis
The St. Louis Cardinals powered past the visiting New York Mets, 3-2, in the opener of the Divisional Series at Busch Stadium 1997-2005 today. St. Louis starting pitcher Jose Fernandez threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball, to lead the charge. The Cardinals now lead the series 1-0.

The Cardinals liked what they saw from Fernandez. The 22-year old pitcher had a commanding presence on the mound, limiting the Mets to no runs on 2 hits over 8 innings, and striking out 11.

Fernandez described the clubhouse as "strangely calm" after the game.
