Box Score of the Week (Postseason edition)

 Game 1 of the 2005 National League Division Series - San Diego Padres at St. Louis Cardinals


------------------------------------------


Cards manager Tony La Russa guided his club to victory on what was his 61st birthday. This was his second postseason victory in a game played on October 4, making him the first manager in MLB history to win multiple playoff games on his birthday. 


Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora, who turned 46 on October 18, equaled that feat when his club defeated the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the ALCS last week.
