The World Series 2013 Game 3 takes place tonight from the Busch Stadium in St Louis as the Boston Red Sox go on the road to the Cardinals to try and regain the initiative following their disappointing loss in Game 2 at Fenway Park.
This will be an intriguing game between two very evenly matched teams, and the series has now become a best of 5 affair following the Cardinals' Game 2 win. The game on Saturday night will start at 8 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on the Fox network.

Boston will send Jake Peavy out to the mound for Game 3, and he will go head to head against St Louis' 25-year old Joe Kelly.
Kelly will be a bit of an unknown to most Red Sox batters, with only two ever having faced him. That's not the same for Peavy, and the Cardinals have a number of batters who are well acquainted with him. One of those is Carlos Beltran, and Peavy could struggle to contain one of the greatest postseason performers in MLB history.
Overall, Beltran has face Peavy times in his career, hitting .400/.480/.800 with three doubles, a triple a home run and four walks against just four strikeouts. All but three of those appearances came prior to 2009, when Peavy was in Cy Young winning form.
In more recent times Peavy has struggled even more against him. In June 2012 – the last time they faced off against one another, Beltran went 3-3 with a home run. This one could be a tough one for Peavy.
