With his team down, 5-0, Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran left Game 1 of the World Series vs. the Red Sox before the start of the bottom of the third inning. Shane Robinson replaced Beltran in right field and Jon Jay entered the game in center field.It was a painful end to one terrific play. Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright was struggling for the second straight inning, facing a bases-loaded, one-out jam with a run already across in the frame and dangerous David Ortiz at the plate. Ortiz ignited the Fenway Park crowd with a fly ball to deep right field, where Beltran crashed hard into the low wall and reached over to take away a grand slam.St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran exited Wednesday's opening game of the World Series against the Boston Red Sox in the third inning with what the team is calling a right rib contusion.
