ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) ― For Edwin Jackson, the mound in Texas really was the wild, wild West.

Jackson walked seven ― the most in a World Series game in 14 years ― and Mike Napoli followed the last two free passes with a three-run homer on reliever Mitchell Boggs’ first pitch to give the Rangers and Derek Holland a 4-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night.

Instead of sending Chris Carpenter to the mound with a chance to clinch their 11th title, the Cardinals find themselves in the first World Series since 2003 that’s tied at two games apiece. That ensures a return to Busch Stadium for Game 6 on Wednesday night.

Holland allowed two hits in 8 1/3 innings and was pulled after walking Rafael Furcal. Neftali Feliz finished the two-hitter.

“Basically what happened is he just worked us over and shut us down,” St. Louis manager Tony La Russa said.

A night after tying World Series records with three home runs, five hits and six RBIs in the Cardinals’ 16-7 victory, Albert Pujols was 0 for 4 ― batting with no one on base his first three times up, then flying out with two on in the ninth.

While Pujols was a non-factor, Lance Berkman went 2 for 3 and improved to 7 for 15 (.467) in this World Series and 12 for 28 (.429) overall in Series play, including his appearance for Houston in 2005.

In a rematch of the opener, won by the Cardinals 3-2, Carpenter starts Game 5 on Monday night and C.J. Wilson goes for Texas.

“If you want to choose somebody from the St. Louis Cardinals to pitch that game, it’s Chris,” La Russa said. “I mean, there isn’t anything about pitching on the road in a hostile environment. I think he actually likes it, pitches better. His problem is going to be good hitters, and he’ll have to pitch effectively. But we love playing behind him because we know he’s going to compete as hard as he can. He’s got a lot to compete with.”

Twenty-two of 40 teams to win Game 4 and tie the Series at 2 have gone on to the championship. The Series had not been 2-all since 2003, when the Marlins overcame a 2-1 deficit to beat the Yankees in six games.

Jackson has had a wild streak throughout his career. He walked eight in his third major league start, at San Francisco in 2003. He then matched that on June 25 last year, when he finished one shy of the record for walks in a no-hitter as he pitched Arizona over Tampa Bay 1-0.

Hits weren’t much of a problem. Jackson allowed three in 5 1/3 innings ― including none after the second. He went to three-ball counts on four of his first 10 batters with the help of some long outs ― four flyouts at or just in front of the warning track. He threw just 59 of 109 pitches for strikes.
