ST. LOUIS — Game 4 of the World Series was postponed yesterday because of rain and will be made up last night.

That pushed Game 5 at Busch Stadium back to Friday night, which was supposed to be a day off in the Series between the Detroit Tigers and St. Louis Cardinals. Rain was in the forecast through Friday.

The Cardinals lead the best-of-seven Series 2–1 after a 5–0 victory behind ace Chris Carpenter in Game 3 on Tuesday night. The rainout gives St. Louis manager Tony La Russa a chance to juggle his rotation if he wants. He could bring Jeff Weaver back on regular rest in Game 5 instead of pitching rookie Anthony Reyes again. Reyes, however, tossed eight-plus strong innings for a 7–2 victory in the opener. Tigers manager Jim Leyland could do the same with Kenny Rogers, who beat Weaver in Game 2 on Sunday night and extended his shutout streak to 23 innings this postseason.
