Why the Red Sox won: Pick a reason. The Sox hit .283 and their pitchers limited the Cardinals to a .190 average.
Why the Cardinals lost: The Cardinals could not get off to a good start. They were outscored 8-0 in the first inning.
Memorable moment: The final out, when Keith Foulke flipped the ball to Doug Mientkiewicz to end the curse.
Key stat: 86. Years since the Boston Red Sox had won the World Series.
