Beltran, Cardinals outlast Dodgers 3-2 in 13 innings in Game 1 of NL championship series
• ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Everything Carlos Beltran does looks effortless. St. Louis Cardinals teammates joke that it's like he's from another world.
• "It's like you've got to put a mirror under his nose to check if he's breathing, he's so calm, cool and relaxed," leadoff man Matt Carpenter said after Beltran delivered another big October performance in a 3-2, 13-inning victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.
• "It's like jazz music is playing in his head. He's just so even-keel, nothing gets to him."
• Beltran hit a tying, two-run double in the third inning. Then he took charge on defense, calling center fielder Jon Jay off the ball before throwing out a runner at the plate from shallow right field in the 10th to keep it even.
• "I felt I was going to have a better angle so I called for the ball about five or six times," Beltran said. "And Jon Jay was able to hear me and leave it up to me."
